Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.
On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin shot the most famous strip of film in cryptid history here in the Bluff Creek country, a short clip of a tall, dark figure walking away and glancing back. Believers call it a Sasquatch, skeptics call it a costume, and after more than fifty years neither side has closed the case. The Klamath backcountry around Willow Creek has been the capital of Bigfoot lore ever since.
Bluff Creek, Six Rivers National Forest (Del Norte County). Source: Patterson-Gimlin film, 1967 (widely documented). The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
