I used to live in Washington State and I know that area from hunting.
It’s about 100 miles inland from the Pacific on the Olympic peninsulat, and that areas best description is North Americas Rainforest. West of Wilard is THICK forest. Dense heavy vegetation, you can lose your bearings easily if you don’t stay focused. You don’t have a horizon, you don’t have the sky. What roads may be in there are mostly abandoned logging trails that haven’t seen mainetnece in 40-50+ years. You wonder if you’re still on the trail.
Those boys eneded up not even knowing how turned around and lost they really were. RIP.
(Never saw Sasquach, even brough him some jerky.)
Uh...I think this was closer to Mt Adams than the Olympic Rain Forest. It has been raining and snowing lots in the area, tho.
While traipsing about in the western oregon Cascades, I'm never without a
pocket gps, with extra batteries. I also carry a simple compass as a backup.
Certain times of the year, foul weather clothing is a must.
In other words, being prepared beats being dead.
It’s quite a ways from the Olympic Peninsula but that sure was a good description of rainforest.
Sounds impossible. Why did they go during the winter?! This is not the time to head into a desolate area, and unprepared. If there is a sasquatch why look for him in the worst weather time of the year?
On which planet were you living at the time?
Skamania County is not on the Olympic peninsula, not even 100 miles close.
Skamania County is located in the Cascade Mountains along the Columbia River in Southern Washington State, not the Olympic Peninsula. Use to work in Skamania County in the Gifford Pinchot NF for the Forest Service.
