Bigfoot country: Harrison Hot Springs to Willow Creek

From Portland it's south to the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, Oregon, then all the way down to Willow Creek and the Bluff Creek area, home of the 1958 footprints and the Patterson-Gimlin film. Bring good boots and a lot of patience for winding roads.
