Account
Two men doing pre-season scouting parked their truck on a ridge at sunset and stayed after dark. They heard footsteps pass alongside the truck and circle in front over gravel. With the headlights on they saw a large ape-like figure crouched ahead that then stood, prompting them to flee hastily and nearly back over an embankment.
