Bigfoot Encounters

Cloverdale, California

As a truck driver for a major oil company, I make the Northbound I-5 haul through Siskiyou County as frequently as anyone on a regular route. I can tell you that in 16 years of driving in that area, I have seen Sasquatch cross the highway twice. Always at night, and always a shock.

Once I was only able to catch a glimpse in my high beams, the other time I was riding a cab- over and the Sasquatch seemed tall enough to have look into the cab without climbing up. Both times I was surprised they weren’t hit by vehicles.

My uncle was a logger over in the Del Norte area for years. He told some yarn that until I started in the trucking business I didn't believe. Now I believe his stories. If he were alive today, he had a few gems to tell folk about old Sasquatch.

He and my Dad claimed they saw Sasquatch close up while fishing the Rogue River in Oregon one summer. Interesting.

Don’t use my name, I take enough shit from the truckers.
Thanks, hope this adds to your research.
