I wondered, do archaelogists working at Ape Cave in Skamania County in Washington State? Archaelogists found some teeth and jaw that belong to be Gigantopithecus at the caves of Lang Trang in Vietnam. Maybe archaelogists might find some teeth, jaw and even some bones in the Ape Cave that might be belong to Sasquatch. I believed that Sasquatches might used Ape Cave for years until the white man arrived. Problem is that what if they found something that could be sasquatch then our government would do cover-up!

I wonder if any search has occurred there.

I'd suspect there has been.

Might be (have been) all kinds of stuff there; human, sasquatch, bear, etc.

But, then again, maybe not.

Dont think these would qualify as they are lava tubes and very new to the area, think they were formed only a hundred or so years ago If memory serves me.

The lava tubes are not new. As they were not created in the previous 1847 eruption. I have heard of several estimates of the lava tubes as being from 600 to as much as 6000 years old. I hope there is someone out there with more expertise to prove me correct or wrong.

I was incorrect,

From the web site : http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/msh/ov/ovb/ovbacsl.html

Ape Cave was formed when Mount St. Helens erupted about 1900 years ago. Ape Cave is 12,810 feet long-- that's almost 2-1/2 miles long! It is the longest intact lava tube in the United States, and the second longest in the world. Ape cave was named in honor of a local youth group called the St. Helens Apes. They hiked and explored on Mount St. Helens.

Centuries-old eruptions of pumice and lava from Mount St. Helens created numerous geologic attractions on its south flank. Lava tubes and caves, formed in the cooling lava, range from thousands of feet in length to small bubble like chambers. Most are located on the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument or the Mt. Adams Ranger District.

Ape Cave is the longest known lava tube in the continental U.S. (12,810 feet). Be prepared by wearing warm clothing, heavy boots, and head protection. When you enter the caves, be sure to take at least three sources of light. In the summer, lamps can be rented at the nearby Ape Cave Headquarters, where interpretive walks are also available.
Within 1 mile of Ape Cave is the Trail of Two Forests. Explore a 1/4 mile, barrier-free boardwalk interpretive trail through a lava tree cast area and plan for a relaxing break at the picnic area.

Ice Caves
This ice cave was detected almost 140 years ago and served as an ice supply for Hood River and The Dalles in pioneer year. The entrance is in the Gifford-Pinchot National Forest just east of Trout Lake, WA.

Total length of the cavern, accessible from a ladder at the main entrance, is about 650 feet. The cave is usually snowed in until at least mid-June of each year, and refreezing begins in October or November.

Visitors should wear warm clothing, boots, head protection and carry a minimum of two sources of light.

Ape Cave (Mount St. Helens ) - formed from a basalt flow over 2,000 years ago; at 12,810' this is the longest lava tube in the 48 contiguous states, and one of the longest of its kind in the world; explore it by hiking up the Ape Cave Trail (see Mt. St. Helens in National Parks under our "Outdoor Fun" section).

I'd be interested in hearing more about this work.

Keep us posted if you hear of any digging results.

Digging deeper would be interesting results, Gigantopithecus as far as 300,000 years ago or so then who knows that they might find some bones that changed from Gigantopithecus into Sasquatches. I am sure that they also would find some indians, bears, pots, etc!

ditto. I'd like to hear more about this too.
