Recently, I came across an interesting video on YouTube by the channel Squatch America. In the video, Scott from Squatch America takes viewers on a Bigfoot adventure train tour in Elgin, Oregon. During the tour, Scott shares his knowledge and passion for Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch. He explains that people often ask why Bigfoot sightings are not more common, to which he responds that many people do see them, but they often go unreported. Scott then shows a footprint found in the Blue Mountains near Elk Ridge, Oregon, taken in 1992 by a man named Paul Freeman. The footprint is particularly noteworthy because it was taken in soft silt and sand, allowing for the preservation of dermal ridges in the toes, which Scott likens to fingerprints. He also explains that Bigfoot have longer torsos and shorter legs than humans, allowing for more intestinal space to digest rougher foods. One common question about Bigfoot is why their remains are rarely found. Scott explains that this is because, like other animals, their bones decompose quickly, and in the case of Bigfoot, mice, which are the most prevalent animal by body mass in the woods, are known to eat bones. Towards the end of the video, Scott shares that he grew up in Elgin, Oregon, and that the train depot they were on was an Old Logging train that now offers tours. He mentions that they did a Bigfoot-themed tour and that they may have even seen a Bigfoot along the way. Overall, the video is an engaging and informative look into the world of Bigfoot, and I encourage all Squatchable readers to check it out for themselves. Who knows, you may even spot a Bigfoot on your next train ride!
