Report Posted To GCBRO Web Site On:  September 1, 2005

DATE:    August 10, 2000
 

TIME:     Noon
 

LOCATION:   Calaveras County, California
 

TERRAIN:    Steep Canyon with River at bottom of Canyon
 

OBSERVED:    Me and my backpacking partner were fishing the headwaters of the XXXXXX river when my partner spotted a large White Creature on the ridge behind us. It was about 7' or 8' tall and about 300 yards away. The creature would watch us for a few minutes and then step behind a large boulder so that we could not see him. He would wait about 30 seconds and then step back into view and watch us. This went on for over a half hour before we lost sight of him. There was no sounds made by the creature and no threatening moves made by either party. 
 

Activities of Witness:   We were on a backpacking trip and were fishing at the time of the encounter.
 

Description of Creature:  The creature stood upright on 2 legs and had big broad square shoulders. He was 7'-8' tall and was solid white in color.
 

Other Notes:    It was a hot summer day and we were in the middle of no where. The canyon is extremely steep & rough terrain and very remote. Later that night while we were in our tent me heard large tree branches being snapped like twigs about 50' away. I would estimate the branches to be about 3" to 4" in diameter.
