Archie Buckley, sasquatch hunting, awake in vehicle with meat and fish baits set out in campground, listened to footfalls considered to be bipedal, then switched on flashlight and held it on a tall, dark, erect creature about 100 feet away. It disappeared while light was off it as he reached for a flash camera. Next morning found six poor 15" to 16" tracks in pine needles and one in soft soil which showed five toes.
