Mt St Helens Bigfoot

In the mid-1960s, Butch's fascination with Bigfoot began after overhearing his father's conversation and reading an Argosy magazine article about 1930s gold prospectors in Ape Canyon near Mount St. Helens, who encountered curious but non-threatening Bigfoot creatures, culminating in a violent boulder-throwing incident after one was shot. This sparked a lifelong passion for Bigfoot hunting with his father, including camping trips south of Mount St. Helens where they heard tree knocking and whoops, and visits to local prospectors in Cougar, who confirmed peaceful interactions with Bigfoot and shared stories of the Ape Canyon event. Decades later, Butch and his father continued their pursuits, observing Bigfoot-like creatures and even hyena-like dogs in the Cascades, while Butch's own camping experiences, including pranks by a large-handed creature, reinforced his belief in the diverse, elusive, and generally harmless Bigfoot varieties across North America.
