Lori filmed the creature as it loped across the rugged slope on two legs. Several minutes later, the Pates’ foresight was rewarded the figure emerged from the woods about 160 metres up the mountain. At the insistence of her husband, she turned the device on and began to scan the hillside. Owen Pate’s wife Lori, one of the seven, had brought a camcorder with her to the scene.
The figure watched the campers for a moment before dashing into the nearby woods. No sooner had the camper begun to explain to her fellow outdoorsmen what she had seen than a dark, hairy, human-like figure stood up, emerging from concealment behind a bush no more than 70 metres away.
One by one, her six companions, beers in hand, joined her in peering up at the hillside. She had spotted something strange nearby on the slopes of Chopaka Mountain. One of the party was playing catch with her son and dog. They had just come in after a long day’s fishing. In the early evening of May 26, 1996, seven campers lounged on the western shore of Lake Chopaka, WA, about 9 kilometres south of the Canadian border. Behind them in the grounds, artists could be found painting cartoon-like interpretations of the Festival’s eponymous Sasquatch – images evocative of a video taken on a Memorial Day weekend nineteen years earlier, at a site 200 kilometres to the north. With a spectacular view of the Columbia River below, fans cheered as various hip-hop, rock, EDM, and indie bands performed their sets throughout the day. It was the fourth and last day of the Sasquatch Music Festival. On Memorial Day 2015, tens of thousands of music lovers packed on the grassy slopes of the Main Stage of The Gorge Amphitheater near George, Washington.
