Skamania County

It was during the winter and that, and they just weren't prepared.

But it's an area that's really been known for Sasquatch, and, you know, Skamania County has some of the largest Sasquatch sightings in the world.

So I thought, "Wow, this is gonna be a great opportunity." So anyway, what we did that day is we went to this one campground, Oklahoma Campground, and got to walk around with this one group called the Squatch Docs, who are doctors in orthopedics.

So they were really good at explaining, uh, tree breaks and that, so it was fascinating.

And every year at the 11th hour of the 11th day of May, a memorial service is held by the City Hall, followed by a minute's silence to remember those who lost their lives.

Located in the Cascade Range and part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the active stratovolcano Mount St. Helens in Skamania County, Washington, may look peaceful enough now, but climbers have learned not to be complacent where it is concerned, knowing that at any time its trails may again be closed to them, like they were after the 18th of May, 1980.
