Two Guys Search For Bigfoot, Find Death Instead

If it were fiction, it'd be funny. Sadly, it is not. Two men from Oregon were on a search for Bigfoot, aka Sasquatch. They took to a forest in Washington to try to find him/her/them/it, but unfortunately went missing. Now they have been found dead.

The story comes from Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Southern Washington State. There, authorities say, two men aged 37 and 59 began their journey in the search for Bigfoot. They were there for some time and family members lost contact with them, leading them to contact authorities.

At 1am on Christmas Day, the search began to find the pair. The search went on for three days, and unfortunately resulted in a horrific discovery.

In a post on social media, the Skamania County Sheriff's Office gave the sad update. The search of Bigfoot resulted in their demise.

Cameras installed from the county found the pair's vehicle and the search began, and for three long days, over 60 volunteers combed the forest to try to find the two. Search planes took to the air, K9s scoured the forest floor, FLIR cameras were used to try to get a heat signature off of their hopefully living bodies somewhere in the thick 1.3 million acre forest.

The two were eventually found in a thick wooded area of the forest, having succumb to the brutal elements which the Sheriff's office was partially due to "ill-preparedness".

The sheer amount of volunteers that got out of their homes during the holiday season to try and locate the two that were on the search for Bigfoot was incredible, but while they were able to find the pair it wasn't in time.

Their identities were not released. An awful story to close the year out with, for sure.

As the leaves start to change color and the temperature starts to cool down, hiking in the fall is an incredible experience, especially in the desert southwest. The air is crisp, the landscape is beautiful, and there are so many fun things to do with family and friends.

I recently took a trip to Kanarra Falls just north of St. George, Utah and was totally taken aback by its beauty. That had me looking around for more hikes to take soon! Fall is here, which means 110 degree temperatures are not. It's safe to step outside and explore!

Here are some of the reasons why hiking in the fall is the best.

One of the best things about hiking in the fall is the weather. It’s not too hot or too cold, which makes for perfect hiking conditions. The desert can be quite hot in the summer, so hiking in the fall is a great time to enjoy the scenery without having to worry about overheating. If you’re looking for a moderate challenge, Fall is also a great time to hike one of Arizona’s “seven summits” – Humphreys Peak, Arizona’s tallest mountain at 12,637 feet.

Another reason why hiking in the fall is the best is because of all the beautiful leaves. The desert southwest has some of the most incredible fall foliage, and it’s truly a sight to see. Apache Junction is home to Lost Dutchman State Park which is a great place to see all sorts of different trees and plants changing color. Hiking through Lost Dutchman in the fall is an experience you won’t soon forget.

Finally, hiking in the fall is a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends. There are so many different trails and places to explore, and it’s a great way to get some exercise while spending time together. After a long day of hiking, you can relax around a campfire or enjoy some s’mores under the stars. Hiking in the fall is an activity that everyone can enjoy.

Whether you’re looking for stunning views or wanting to spend time with family and friends, hiking in the fall is an activity that everyone can enjoy. With perfect weather conditions and incredible scenery, there are so many reasons why hiking in the fall is simply the best.

I've got five hikes below that are worth checking out. Some are in our own backyard, some are a bit of a drive, but all are worthy of your soles.
