Couple sees "power-walking" biped in forest above Leadville

BFRO YEAR: 1994/95? around 2:00 in the afternoon Leadville, Lake County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was driving with her husband on a mountain road in the afternoon while camping. They saw a large black bipedal animal walking through a clearing toward the mountainside. It had very long arms and took huge unhurried strides before disappearing into dense pines within a few seconds. Despite having a camcorder beside them, they did not film it.
