Account
A man hauling firewood was driving down a dirt road in a canyon when he spotted what he first thought was a bear near a cattle salt box. When he was about 400 yards away, the dark figure stood up on two legs and quickly walked 40 to 50 yards down into a steep creek bottom. He did not stop to look for tracks and kept driving past the spot.
