Summary

Two Oregon men, aged 59 and 37, were found dead from exposure in Washington State’s Gifford Pinchot National Forest after failing to return from a Christmas Eve trip to search for Sasquatch.

The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office attributed their deaths to harsh weather and lack of preparedness.

A family member reported them missing early Christmas Day, prompting a three-day search involving 60 volunteers, drones, canines, and Coast Guard infrared technology.

    It’s Christmas Eve. Don’t you think you should be sitting at home waiting for Santa Claus, another mythological creature? And, what a waste of manpower and resources looking for them, on a holiday no less.

      Could have just let the Sasquatch look for them. There’s a pretty good record of people being returned unharmed but with very vague memories.

      what’s the symbol for “sarcasm status uncertain”… /u?
