Recently, I came across an interesting video on YouTube from the channel Selkirk Range Sasquatch. The video features the owner of the Broken Spoke Soda Chuck Wagon sharing his personal encounter with a Sasquatch during a pack trip in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in 1997. In the video, the man describes seeing a creature that was easily 8 or 9 feet tall, with broad shoulders and long arms that hung below its knees. He could see all five fingers on the creature and knew it wasn't a bear or any other known animal. The Sasquatch was standing in the middle of the White River and disappeared by the time the man and his group returned the next day. The man in the video shares his belief that there are still things on this planet that cannot be explained by people, and that the Sasquatch is one of them. He mentions how the Native Americans from the northernmost to the southernmost tips of the country have stories about the "wild man of the woods," and how it can't just be a coincidence. He also shares how he immediately got in touch with Thomas Steenburg, a well-known Sasquatch researcher in Canada, after his encounter and has been a believer ever since. The man in the video hopes that the mystery of the Sasquatch will never be solved, as the wonder and speculation is part of the fun. The Broken Spoke Soda Chuck Wagon is based in North Idaho and the man in the video also mentions his saddle shop and horseshoe auctioneer business. He encourages viewers to check out the Broken Spoke Soda Chuck Wagon Facebook page and Panhandle Leather Works for their leather gear. It's always exciting to hear about personal encounters with Sasquatch and this video is no exception. I encourage all Squatchable readers to check out the video for themselves and form their own opinions on the man's encounter.
