The Hunt for Sasquatch

👣 About the Event

Sasquatch, AKA Bigfoot or whatever you want to call him, just made his grand appearance at Bone Valley ATV Park AGAIN. He left for the summer, but it looks like he has returned to Florida for the winter months. Sasquatch is known for being a bit camera-shy, but you might catch him strolling through Bone Valley ATV Park on days ending in “y”. So if you happen to cross paths with our furry friend, go on with your day and make sure to snap some photos. It’s not every day you get to hangout with a legend.
