Full Version: Yuppie Superjock nearly has heart attack...
as his world view is upended...Great new descriptive report...It can't be a hoax!!
Yuppie superjock? 
Interesting report nonetheless.

I smell something fishy and I don't think it's a dead salmon.
Hi my name is Biff, My favorite hobbies are myself, my favorite topics are myself and I'm open-minded about anything... As long as it's about me. If this guy ever has a "Class A" encounter I hope he describes BF as well as he decribes himself... 
was this report about Sasquatch, or just a stroke for the guy's ego??
Bleh...........
One thing I found kinda strange is that the guy saw barefooted footprints and IMMEDIATELY decided it was a BF. Unless someone is intensely interested in BF, or has sighted one, I don't see why he'd come to such a fast conclusion, even if it was a really large footprint.

Wow! did I really just waste all that time to read that?!!
that's embarrassing that it even got published to the website in that self-promoting manner.....phew! I would think the abridged version would be the one to have up there....leave out ALL of the stuff about him and you're down to about 3 short paragraphs.

Ok, here's the edited version: 
I've edited ALOT of it out...
some of his "conclusions" (in the original version - like, "they now knew I was here..."), his actions contradicting his implied "anxiety" ("I just HAD to see the where they went on the other side of the river..", etc.) and his mentioning of seeing "fingerprints" raise red flags for me.
Being the avid outdoorsman he is, I thought it was odd that he checked out of the lodge and left the region. I mean, wasn't this 5-7 miles from his location? Weird. I dunno. I know the region he was in is "active", so I don't doubt it could have happened. Just a little strange the way it is presented....the date, too....waiting till late October to report a July event. whatever. From what I've seen, actually, that's NOT that unusual.
Oh, well. That original version really struck a nerve. Ow!

My girlfriend and I went on vacation to the Olympic Pennisula this summer. We decided to visit the Lake Quinault area. I had never been to the rain forest area and wanted to see it.
On this morning my girlfriend wanted to run so I decided to explore the area. I decided to walk a little ways upstream (along the Quinault River). I walked maybe 1/4 mile to a 1/2 mile on the trail – it parallels the river but moves away from time to time so I jumped off the trail and went down to the river and started walking upstream . I crossed the river to get a better (look at possible fishing spots) when I caught an extremely pungent and offensive odor much like something dead but not quite. I tried to gauge its position and with the wind such as it was, it was coming in from the tree line.
I continued up on the " soft side " of the river. While walking up I had to traverse some muck and mud on the " inside " of the pool and continued to the rocky areas just ahead. I didn't mind the muck as I would have to cross the river again. Having sat for a minute, I headed back and here's where things got very weird. As I walked down the same bank I noticed some tracks crossing mine . These tracks were made within minutes of my walking past and were in the exact area of the "odor" I detected moments ago. The tracks were "human" barefoot tracks and were 18-20 inches long. I know this because my tracks with shoes are 13 or so inches . They were also much deeper than mine and the stride was also longer. There were 2 distinctly different tracks, as one was just a bit smaller and had a deformity around the big toe on the left foot. I immediately started hyperventilating as I knew I was looking at what could only be sasquatch or bigfoot tracks. The tracks were totally clear and in most of them I could even discern the " fingerprint" like lines in certain areas. At this point my heart started racing to the point where I thought I might have a heart attack and I was literally getting dizzy and lightheaded. They crossed the river and went up the "hard " side with no break in stride. The other side was wet and had trickles of water where the 2 animals exited the river. I examined the tracks in utter disbelief and now was somewhat fearful.
I never saw the animals but can assure you the tracks could not be confused with anything else ..

Please to note by "interesting" I'm not referring to its potential impact on sasquatch studies. If anything that fact that it was published is interesting in its own right.
Bigfootdad,
Thanks for your abridged version of yuppie superjock's experience. I always said, when in doubt, read the Cliff Notes!

yeah, those are the "cliff notes" ... the original's worth a look just to get the flavor....or to brush up on "how-not-to-submit-a-report".... well, now that I've had an hour to think it over, this would be a GREAT incident to have experienced...of course, I wouldn't have been alone....WOULD HAVE had a camera and tape measure handy...and would have gone back to my car (parked near those other two at the trailhead) to get my hydrocal!!
It's just TOO MUCH the way it's written up on the original post....

Narcissism does not add credibility to a report.

Good point!
Dear BfRo, I saw Sasquatch...you probably wanna hear about it......
First a little about myself...I'm in great shape, I graduated from high school at age nine, then went on to earn multiple degrees, all magna someah cumeah loudy at Harverd, OxFord and the Sore Bone,( it's in France!)...I was also the first marine to scale Mt Surabachi and plant the flag...Like I says: I'm in great shape...While at Harverd, I invented a series of computer programs...But I had this nerdy, icabode crane lookin classmate who could never get second dates...I felt sorry for the guy an gave it to him...He named it Microsoft..That was the nickname that the girls at Harverd had given him....which is why he never got second dates.....
At OxFord, I researched DNA and disovered a double helix type doolydad in the way that the jeans were arrainged....My prof was a poor broken down boozer named Crick...So I let him an his drinken buddy take credit for it....It got em a Noble Prize and they gave up the sauce.....
At the Sore Bone (it's in France!), I hung out in left bank cafes wearing shades, a beret and smoken long cigerettes while mumblen sayins from guys named Sart, Shoppehauer and Nitchkee, ( He played middle linebacker for the packers back in the 50s!) while achingly beautiful and totally unattainable, ( fer schmucks like you!!!) french checks sat in my lap an stuck their tongues in my ear......I never bathed....
What!!! The sighting....I'll get to that....Did I mention Surabachi an the medal of honor and the fact that the John Wayne character..( SGT Stryker!) in The Sands of Iwi Jima was based on me!!! OH the sighting???
It happened at the Sore Bone ( it's in France!),, anyhow,When I saw her, ( the Sasquatch, looked just like Patty!) I had an epiffanee, my view of the universe an my utter insignificents in it became crushingly undeniable....I was no more then a cockroach skuttering across an immense void....A modern day Sisaphus eternally damned to pushing an immense boulder up an endless hill.......I Immeadiately, dropped out of the Sore Bone (it's in France!), gave up the cafe life and the French chiks, moved to Oregon an became a bus driver.....
As far as the Sasquatch...more I think about it...more I figure it was just an exceptionally large an hairy French chik...They don't bathe much an they never shave their armpits or nuthin.....Have a nice day...PGH

What would be his reaction were he to one day go 'class A'. Hyperventilating on discovering a few fresh tracks and an odor is not a good thing for an outdoorsman. I do admit, it would be exciting, though. Particularly if unarmed. Wonder if it happened.

No offense but if I was even a child and watched Harry and the Hendersons and walked down a river and saw 20" footprints YES I would think Bigfoot/Sasquatch. As for "Yuppie Super Jock" and the post about "ME ME ME"

I'm very familiar with this area. I don't think he left the area. It is our favorite place to take a scenic to. We were there(loop road) just last weekend. Last summer we drove to the camp ground near were the NF trail is. Ten years ago me my wife and 3 boys hiked into the river were the submitter seen the tracts. I also occasionaly fish the upper Quinault River. It is a rugged fast river which requires a whole lot of skill to run in a drift boat. It is fairly remote and dosen't get many fisherman. I'm always looking for prints on the ground.
Aside from his embellishments about himself, I had no problem following his route in my minds eye. I knew exactly where he was by his description.
The Quinault Valley loop road travels from HWY 101 east past Lake Quinault where it crosses the Upper Quinault River then back to HWY 101. At the south end of the bridge, which is the direction in which the reporter was traveling from(the south shore road), the road goes another 7 miles up the valley where it dead ends at Graves Crk. This is how you get to Enchanted Valley. On the North side of the bridge the road goes up the valley maybe 2 more miles at the most. Up there is the N. Fork trail, a small camp ground and a seasonal forest ranger station which is where the submitter went.
QUOTE
The tracks were totally clear and in most of them I could even discern the " fingerprint" like lines in certain areas.
I don't think the submitter was talking about actual fingerprints but the lines in the bottom of the feet. I think they call them dermal ridges. Even though he is a yuppie liberal from Puget Sound I beleive his report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my report. It happened about 2 miles or less south of the South Shore Rd. of the Quinault Valley Loop Rd which is where the yuppie was staying.
LOCATION
There is a long straight stretch on HWY 101 between Lake Quinault and Neilton, WA. The sighting took place just north of the N. Fork of Boulder Crk.
ENVIRONMENT
There is old growth forest on both sides of the road consisting of mostly Douglas Fir with Western Red Cedar, maybe some Western Hemlock and Spruce. It is a state owned, old growth forest set aside many years ago for scientific study.
TIME
The year was probably 1978. I think the season was late spring or early summer. The weather was overcast with a light drizzle.
OBSERVED
I was headed south in a delivery truck when my eye caught movement on the right side of the road maybe 200 yards ahead at the most. The creature had been standing motionless at the side of the road. It was facing the road then it spun around counter clockwise and in less than 3 steps was gone back into the timber with it’s arms swinging as it stepped. I saw him for 2.5 seconds. It was solid black. It was very large with huge shoulders and long arms. I think he was standing there looking to see if it was safe to cross, then turned around and retreated because of my approaching vehicle. I thought what the heck was that? Did I see what I just saw? It moved like a large man but it is a solid color. I saw one color. It didn’t have any clothes on. It had very broad shoulders. I just started trying to rationalize in my head what I just witnessed. Did I just see a sasquatch? It was hard to believe I saw one. Still is.
I came upon the spot where the creature retreated back into the woods. I slowed my truck down to a slow roll but there was no way I was going to stop and get out to look for tracks or to see if I could see it up close and personal. I wasn’t going to leave the security of my truck. I looked into the timber best I could as I passed but I didn’t see him.
Great report, Maguana. Nothing before or since? Pretty interesting report. Did you report it to a BF org.? What time of day or night was it? Maybe this guy is a copycat encounterer? I am the last guy to say it can't happen, as I saw a BF too.
My sighting took place about 1:30 in the afternoon. I think it was June. I reported it to Oregon BF and BFRO twice. BFRO still haven't posted it but a year ago last August Matt Moneymaker from BFRO contacted me and asked me to come up to Amanda Park to be interveiwed for the Mysterious Encounters. I put him in touch with a native friend of mine from the Quinault Nation that also seen Bigfoot in the '70s with his brother. they were out hunting on the res. It was from him where they got the name for the episode "The Tsiatko Monster". That is what the Quinaults call them.
That was my only encounter back in '78. I sure would like to have another encounter from a whole lot closer distance. I want to get the poo scared out of me. I go fishing pert near everyday at the Humptulips river. Some of my fishing buddies have had encounters not far from where we fish while out hunting. Heck there has been reported sighting all over my area.

So the guy's a little egocentric and got the sh*t scared out of him. That automatically makes his report null and void? I don't get it......... If I saw 18-20 inch deeply impressed bare footprints with what looked like dermal ridges in them, I don't think I'd immediately be thinking Andre the Giant (ie, human). Especially with the associated smell and his extensive knowledge of bears. Geez, you guys are getting so jaded you're turning green........ 
Susan,
I'm sorry for calling names. It won't happen again. As for his report if I didn't validate it above I'll do it again here. With my knowledge of the area I believe his report to be true and factual.

No problem, Maguana, I don't recall your post had any name-calling in it? You are one of the few who didn't immediately didn't call foul as soon as the guy started talking. Thanks for being objective and for giving us some perspective on the area.......
Great report Maguana! I really enjoyed reading it. It was what I'd like all reports to be. Just the basic facts and no embellishment on the description of the creature. A 2.5 second encounter, I'd expect nothing more than a brief description of what was seen...a big black powerful looking creature swinging his arms. Sometimes I'll see, "well, it was 8 ft tall, had 2 inch long hair all over its body with the exception of the bottom of it's feet, long fingernails and brown eyes". Yeah, right, like someone could possibly observe all of this in a 2 second encounter!
Anyways, welcome to the BFF!

I didn't post it here, a member here cut and pasted my report from another BF Forum. Was a long time ago, though. I know firsthand how difficult it is to come forth and tell about it once you saw a squatch. Especially if a few people want to ridicule you or call you a liar.
