Very close daylight sighting by a woodcutter driving down a logging road east of Nordman
Account
The witness was driving his pickup on a logging road when a creature stepped off a 5-ft embankment about 30 ft away and slid down to the road on its feet. It walked alongside the slow-moving truck within arm's length, then crossed in front, holding a hand toward the hood before leaving the road with very long strides into undergrowth. The witness braked, waited, then got out to search for footprints but found none.
