Skamania is a rural WA county along the Columbia River, partially across from Hood River Oregon.

The SCSO is now reporting a massive search was launched for a 59 and 37-year-old male from Portland, who did not return home as planned. Officials say they received an emergency dispatch around 1:00 AM Christmas Day by way of family members in Portland.

The two men, whose names have not yet been released,  had said they were going into the rural woods to search for Bigfoot, but were supposed to return later on 12-24. The reporting party said the two were endangered and they feared for their safety.

Thanks to a remote Flock camera system, searchers were able to eventually locate their vehicle near Willard, an unincorporated area about 20 miles Northwest of Hood River OR. This allowed them to narrow down the search area.
