Sasquatch believer?

Sasquatch, meet Ogie – Ogie, meet Sasquatch.

While the Okanagan is famous for its yearly sightings of our infamous lake creature the Ogopogo, purported sightings of tracks belonging to a Sasquatch are few and far between.

However, one such sighting occurred this week in the Joe Rich area.

Jonathan Godon was on a fishing trip to Ideal Lake in the hills above Joe Rich Monday, when he came across a set of tracks along the side of the road.

The sighting took place about 35 kilometres up Philpott Road.

"It was about 2 or 3 km all the way down the road," said Godon.

"Each track was about a foot long."

Godon said at first he thought the prints were from a large animal but once he checked different animal prints online, he knew they were something more.

For starters the prints had just three toes, bear paws have five.

"At first I thought it was a grizzly bear," he said.

"I looked at so many prints online, of every animal in B.C., and it looks nothing like any animal. It's weird."

Godon said some people thought they might be moose tracks, but he believes they were far too large to be moose.
