Is there any reliable record that sasquatch live in caves? I don't think that there were many report of that. I only came across one (in Alley's Raincoast sasquatch). Of course, in Thomas' third book, he mentioned that some guy named Joe took him to a mine shaft on Harrison East.

I recieved a report about 7 years ago about a Sasquatch that was possibly living in a cave network near Crescent Falls, here in Alberta. I tried to get ahold of the person who emailed me the report, but they never answered any of my responces.
I searched the Crescent Falls area later on, and did find a cave with a heap of dried grass inside of it, but nothing else.

I am curious if the bones that the hunters found were ever identified

Strange. But I personally cannot see the need for a sasquatch to use a cave. Even bears don't make it a necessity except for hibernating! And I suppose if you live long enough you will encounter all sorts of creatures in a cave ....by chance!It is the old axiom"We should strive not to turn our presumptions into assumptions!" {I wonder who said that?" }

Well chances are pretty good that all kinds of animals will make use of a dry shelter such as a cave (provided it is indeed dry--few are). Some caves have deep crevasses that animals fall into or that people of yore residing there use as garbage dumps (a midden). Some speculate that their dead also are dumped there, making caves a rich source of hominin and other mammalian bones in places such as South Africa and Spain. If Sasquatch are present, and have been for tens or hundreds of thousands of years, in non-glaciated areas such as the coast, there might well be caves with sas and other bones deep within. It's well worth checking for if you locate any.

Theres a good write up about sasquatches and caves in the History of Harrison Hotsprings.The fraser vally libary has a copie. I photocopied it because it was very interesting it gives a few place names and what not that i will check up again. Also I know its off topic but the mine shaft sebastian that you mention at the beginning of this topic has any more info come to light about it becaue in the same book there is a quick mention of a old spanish mine on the east side of the lake. I followed it up a bit and the possiblitly is definitly confirmed in other books with different sources. Cheers everyone Cheers everyone

If I recall the story Thomas went to the mine site with Daniel (Don't call me Danny! ) Perez, and the old Swiss chap from Harrison who claimed to have had an encounter there many years before. But there was nothing to substantiate that the encounter ever happened, far as I know. Thomas might have more info!

That's interesting. Time for a trip to the library.
One of the reasons caves are a place to look for bones, around here, anyway, is because our soil is acidic due to the presence of so much slightly acidic rain (ok, it's near neutral, but it still will dissolve bones in no time at all, along with animals carrying them off). Caves tend to occur in karstic, limestone-bearing geological zones. Limestone is alkaline (the opposite of acidic) and bones put to rest in limestone caves that are also dry can last a very, very long time. So even if chance is the only reason why archaeologically/zoologically (etc.) significant bones are there, the bones that do end up there will be retained--if in a deep crevice then not only because they are well preserved, but also because animals can't get at them. Temperature is constant, also.

From the History of Harrison Hot Springs and Port Douglas Area by Belle Rendall ................"The home of the Harrison Sasquatch is reported to be in the Mystery Valley in caves back of 20 Mile Bay which stretches as far as Chehalis Lake with Lake Margaret in between. The valley branches off to other lakes, thousand of feet of virgin timber still remain in Mystery valley, and so far as I can ascertain, the valley has never been explored for Sasquatch caves. Probably there are skeletons, or burying places,or middens to be found.........."It then mentions other places as well......"The remnants of this hairy race are said to hold a reunion every four years commencing on the first night of the full moon in July. The meeting place is near the summit of Morris Mountain...............The ancient name of Morris Valley was Saskahana meaning the place of the wild man" It goes on to tell quite a few stories of locals around port douglas and harrison. Very neat read for any one who want to.

I talked to a relation of Rene D. in the town of Hope a few years ago that spoke of old stories that Sas used caves and lava tubes in Wash. and that some run some so far they can use them as escape or travel routes.

hey gang...on sunday I found a spot where something (or some one) took shelter under a large rock overhang very near kereomeos. What struck me as odd for an animal den was the carefully placed tall grass laid down for thin bedding. As this was very close to the highway I thought of a traveler taking shelter from rain or snow but there were no signs that folks usually leave like butts or other trash. Anyway it's easy to find and I do have a photo if anyone is interested in checking. thanks

Sure - post them up.
I have built shelters in the woods before - not that I NEEDED to, but as practice for one day IF I need to, then I am not wondering how to do it.
Could that be what you found?
You mention grass - was it dry grass - meaning could it have been there for a long time? Or freshly collected dry grass from the local area?

hey richard.. I think we're all familiar with all kinds of shelters humans and animals frequent. I've seen countless hobo nests in the city and country alike and there is always some sign of the person or persons being there ie: toilet paper, candy wrappers, plastic... what struck me as odd was that the grass ( and there was such a thin layer, you would say "why bother" ) was taken out in careful bunches from where it joined together near the ground and has lain carefully. As it overlooked the highway, it would be likely be a human but still I've never seen something that struck me as odd like that. Probably nothing but I just thought I'd add to the conversation. The local similkameen indians claim the valley is on a migration route and they've always taken that sasquatch passes through twice a year
