Authorities in Skamania County, Washington, reported that two Oregon men, aged 59 and 37, were discovered deceased in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest after embarking on a quest to find Sasquatch. The Skamania County Sheriff's Office indicated that the cause of death appeared to be exposure, attributing it to adverse weather conditions and the men's lack of adequate preparation.
Sasquatch, a legendary creature believed by some to inhabit the forests, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, was the focus of the ill-fated expedition. The forest where the men were found is located approximately 150 miles northeast of Portland, Oregon, in a densely wooded area.
