Two Portland men lost their lives while searching for Sasquatch in eastern Skamania County, Washington.
The Skamania County Communications Center received a report on December 25, 2024, around 1 a.m., about two overdue individuals who had planned to return home on December 24, 2024. When the pair did not return, a family member reported them missing and endangered.
A recently installed Flock camera helped locate the vehicle associated with the missing men, allowing the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Coordinator to find the vehicle off Oklahoma Road near Willard, Washington.
Over three days, more than 60 volunteer search and rescue personnel, including canine, drone, and ground teams, were mobilized. The United States Coast Guard from Astoria, Oregon, provided air support using F.L.I.R. technology.
After a challenging search through difficult terrain and harsh weather, the bodies of the 59-year-old and 37-year-old men were found in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Both deaths appear to be due to exposure, attributed to weather conditions and lack of preparedness.

Evening thermal winds always come down after sunset. Around here, Oregon coast...the colder air pools down low, and warmer air from the Pacific moves over my area. It’s warmer st 400-600 feet than it is at sea level. . Thermals reverse in the morning, as low air warms, and rises. I know a spot where I can still-hunt downhill in the AM, and the deer will be traveling uphill, with the thermal at their back...unless prevailing winds mess the whole thing ip
Darwin award candidates!
I hunted the Malheur at about 8000 feet on a draw hunt back in 1997 and found the thermals worked up in the morning and down in the afternoon as it cooled off. Mount Adams was brutal after dark. While I was scouting for elk sign, and there was a lot of it, I decided to come back to a rough camp below the tree line. The temperature was in the sixties until the sun went down, and then the cold air rushed down the mountain and almost froze us out. I didn’t take a bull on that hunt, but one came into our camp at 2:30 AM tearing stuff up because my baby brother took a dump in his scrap that morning. LOL (or it could have been a Sasquatch!)
Tragic.
Whenever I wrote “ that’s impossible” I meant finding Sasquatch’s.
Still, a real sad ending.
On which planet were you living at the time?
Skamania County is not on the Olympic peninsula, not even 100 miles close.
They didn’t pack enough Jack Link’s Beef Jerky to go Messin’ with Sasquatch
It is a real Skam to get lost in Skamania County!!!
Stay Safe, you Oregonians. Your DNA is “danger not avoidable!”
Stick with the tie dyed T-shirts, dope, and leftism.
Not a great life but not being mashed by Sasquatch!

If you were waiting for the bounty on Bigfoot to get big enough before you throw you hat in the hunt, now might be the time. Lloyd’s of London is offering $10 million to anybody who proves Bigfoot exists.

More like 200+ miles away from the Olympic rain forrest.
$30 in emergency supplies from Wal-Mart would have saved their lives.
