I have always wondered why nobody has seriously thought of going up to Bella Coola BC on the west coast of Canada to look for Sasq.
Here's some cool stories from Clayton Mack ....enjoy!

The sentence that struck me in Clayton Mack's recollections was this one:
"I look at his lips kind of turning in and turning out, the top and the bottom too."

That reminded me of what Owen Caddy's enhancement of the PGF showed--similar "moues" or lip pursings, which Owen said were characteristic of agitated chimps.

I worked for 8 years on the ferry that goes into Bella Coola during the Summer. people complain of to many grizzlies running around sometime famlies of up to four & five bears. Maybe the bears know something too.. don't leave Mom till your grown. Certainly got the secluded area, but very sheer faced mountains ...no roads but plenty of natural hot springs along the coast lines.

"Bella Coola" I love the way the name flows. :biggrin:

I've been around alot of B.C. in my life but never into the Bella Coola. The area has always fascinated me though and I've always wanted to move there.

I went there on a whim in early 1976. I was on my way to Alaska from California (after picking up my car and visiting my parents), and stopped at a store in or near Williams Lake that had a giant sasquatch statue outside. I bought John Green books while I was there. I still have the books. The lady at the store told me of recent sightings at Bella Coola.

"Where's that?" She told me. I went. It was a long drive (I already had a long drive behind me, and much more ahead), but the beauty of the place alone was worth it. Classic coastal rainforest.

I asked a couple of young native looking guys about sasquatch sightings, and they told me that it happens all the time around there. I just turned around and left. I had to get back to Anchorage, or I'd be AWOL, and I was pressing my time schedule.

Living here four and a half years, and have not yet had the pleasure of seeing the Bella Coola area.

I have an acquaintance here in Gibsons who told me, "When you go to Bella Coola, you better be ready...Because you will not ever want to come back."

This gave me pause, because I consider the area where I live among the most beautiful places I have ever seen...And you folks know I am well traveled. But then again, everywhere I go in British Columbia, I have been astonished at the beauty, often surprised because I just didn't think anything could be as amazing as what I just saw.

Fortunate to be living here...And could spend the next twenty years seeing more new places without ever leaving this Province.

Clayton Mack stories are my favorite. I really need to pony up and buy his books one day.

A few years ago, camping in klamath in northern california, a friend and I half jokingly asked a hippie-type park ranger if she'd seen any sasquatches in the area. She said no, but then added that a few years earlier she and some others had been treed by something large and that sounded like it was on two legs, somewhere near bella coola. Take that FWIW, but she seemed very serious. I think it would definitely be one of the top areas I would look if I was intent on finding the big guy.

Treed? That's the first time I've heard of a BF treeing humans. Besides, I thought BF was a good tree climber.

I would like to go to Bella Coola just to fish and see the rocky coast and explore.

Ya, the only problem with Bella Coola is the bears, so many of them, and mostly Griz...

The Bella Coola country is surely some of the wildest and most beautiful along coastal British Columbia.
If in fact sasquatch does exist, I think the regions around Bella Coola or Bella Bella would be a perfect place to call home seet home.

I have been fortunate enough to have spent a good deal of time in and around Bella Coola during my younger years as a commercial fisherman. I have also hunted moose between Kleena Kleen and Bella Coola and can say from experience that the area certainly does hold a healthy population of big-game...including large numbers of big coastal grizzly bears.

Although not quite as far up as Bella Coola, my wife and I will soon be moving (May 09) to a wild and beautiful coastal island located at the mouth of Bute Inlet.

Hopefully I'll have a little free time to check out the area for sign of sasquatch.

For those that would like to see what coastal British Columbia looks like, I have a few pics of our future island getaway posted at the following link: http://www.filehigh.com/viewgallery.php?f=36208

Yes you are right saying Bella Coola country is surely some of the wildest and most beautiful along coastal British Columbia.
Thanks for good information about Bella Coola .

Ocean Falls is another great place in the area to try, but you have to take the ferry to get there as it can only get to it by boat or plane as there are no roads going in just one 18km road through the town.

Costal wolves are reported to eat small bears...

I have lived in BC all of my life, mostly away from the cities or towns. Dad always had to be at least twenty miles away from populated areas and for that I consider myself fortunate, even though it was frustrating as a teenager.

I spent many years living near Williams Lake (up Springhouse way near the old logging road in Frost Creek) on Dog Creek Road. Bella Coola was still quite a drive away, but close enough to go there twice a year.

At any rate, we used to camp in Bella Coola a lot, the fishing is beyond par, really, I recommend at least one trip to see if I am wrong. My Grampa and Dad new some of the elders there and we as a family were allowed into some of the Native protected forests and wow ... it will change your life just by it's beauty.

Sasquatch, for the natives, is a being that is alive and well in their beliefs as well as day to day activities. I think they have a different name for it up there, though (Boqwa?)There were times when the old fellas would visit our campsite, they knew my grampa from his logging days, and everybody would stay up late listening to the stories of this creature. Sometimes I just wish they would shut up they scared me so bad. But you know, fear of the unknown and stuff ... I think, if any serious attempt at documenting this creature were to be accomplished, an effort should be made to convince the local Natives to help. They are beautiful, spiritual people and an undertaking might be doomed from the start without their cooperation.

Just don't tell Tom 'Give Me a Sighting and I Will Wreck it for Everybody`Biscardi. With any luck, if he does choose to go there, the road down to the coast is a sheer drop and hopefully he is afraid of heights as much as he is afraid of serious work.

Nice Post BCS..
