A revolutionary new hiking book has just arrived in our
area. “Hiking Sasquatch Country” by
Wendy and Gary Swanson departs from the average hiking book.
This book has 39
hikes and 37 historical points of interest in our immediate area. What makes this book unique is that all but
three of the 76 adventures are linked to an online photo journal for the reader
to preview on their computer or any mobile device in advance, or for a record of
their trip.
Hikes range from above Wolf Creek, the Rogue River trail
past Galice, through the Illinois Valley, across the Applegate Valley and
through the historic areas of our border with California.
The 37 separate excursions are attractions that you can
drive to, and with limited walking, they are field trips into some of our rich
Josephine County history
The Sasquatch stories are from recorded history in our area,
such as the Almeda Mine killings of four gold miners by two “mysterious apelike
creatures” and the authors’ “unexplainable and possible close encounters of the
wild kind.”
“Hiking Sasquatch Country” is now available at your local
bookstore or on Amazon in paperback for $16.95 and on Kindle for $8.99.
