Witness Account:
We were living in Fernview Campground just west of Cascadia, Oregon. I was walking past the bathroom area of the cabin, which had an uncovered window. I glanced out the window, and saw a bigfoot walking up the community road that comes down to the cabins. It had it's back to me, and was taking very very long strides. He (pretty sure it was a he) was at least 7-8 feet tall, with the physique of an athlete, all slender hips and muscles, and very broad shoulders. His hair was about 6-8" long, all over his body, very silky looking and a dark auburn color. I felt like he was aware of me looking at him, but was not concerned. I could not see any part of his face. He walked past a large tree, and just disappeared. Never came out the other side of the tree, which I could plainly see. My dog was tied up right outside the window, and started barking like crazy, so I knew she saw it too. We had no cell phones or cameras, but even if we had, I was in shock and didn't even consider trying to take a picture. My family was out in the living area watching videos, and didn't see it. After it disappeared I hollered out to my husband and said "I just saw a bigfoot!" The distance between me and it, was about 25'. I walked out to see if it had left tracks, but it was mostly mossy and no tracks showed.
Sounds:
No sounds other than the dog going crazy trying to get off her leash.
Additional observations:
We had heard wood knocking and the loud cries associated with bigfoot before, along with smelling the horrible stench. Our cabin was just uphill from the Santiam river.
