Americorps volunteers Karri Liggit and Megan Robinson were hiking around the Burr Oak reservoir. They were not really paying attention to the woods around them, as they were deep in conversation about the up coming weekend fundraiser.
Karri stopped to tie her shoelace. Megan looked over at water. Near a bend in the shore, she saw a huge hairy creature wade into the reservoir. Megan grabbed Karri by the shoulder. Karri was startled by the force of Megan’s grip, just as she was about to protest, Karri saw how Megan’s face had lost all her natural color.
Then Karri looked over to the water and saw the Bigfoot that had Megan dumbfounded.
“It was near ten feet tall,” Karri said, “and was splashing water up onto itself with huge hands. It was obviously a Bigfoot. And it was clearly trying to bathe itself.”
The two stood there, frozen in fear, watching the Bigfoot for nearly fifteen minutes. Until the creature put its head under water and swam away.
“Once it went under the water, we lost track of it,” Megan said.
“But, boy, did we book it out of there, quick too!” Karri added.

Is there any information on the photo associated with this sighting?

If I’m not mistaken, I think this is a photo someone found on Google “street view” a few years ago. But I could be wrong.

A Sasquatch who wants to bath; well that’s a new one!!
LUCAS P
He just didn’t have that fresh feeling that most Bigfoot(s) truly desire. And 15 min?? Damn that’s a long sponge bath

Any and all will want to get relief from parasites. I imagine ticks are a major irritant. Sleeping on tree tops and ground…I can only imagine.

iI thought about ticks and fleas as well. This must be a major problem for sasquatches.

I worked side by side with Americorps while in Klamath Ca. I was in shared barracks with Americorps as they were the same as the CALIFORNIA CONSERVATION CORPS- the C.C.C..,only we were state funded and they were federally funded ,we were paid more per hour but Americorps received a small scolarship I think like 500 dollars I decided to take a higher pay rate,anyways these fine young adults have the best chances to see one besides us and the U.S. forest service and loggers,as we were in the forest 40-50 hours a week.

We booked it some the early 80’s.

Good story. I was in Americorps for approx 6 months in northern CA. The amount of parties and dope smoking that went on within the Americorps groups was crazy. Maybe these two had been toking a bit before seeing this bathing bigfoot.
