Sasquatch sighting near Saint Helens, Oregon (1999)
Account
The guest and his driver friend were following another truck slowly up a gravel logging road in the Bunker Hill area when the guest noticed a tall bipedal figure paralleling them just inside the treeline. They watched it for several minutes, confirming with each other that they were seeing the same thing, and expected it to emerge at an upcoming clearcut. About 10-15 feet before the open ground it turned away into the woods and disappeared, after which they stopped in shock before continuing and telling their friends ahead, who had not seen it.
