River guide sees skinny bigfoot at dusk

Account

After completing a kayak scout of a San Juan River section, the witness drove at dusk to retrieve his truck. Companions ahead alerted him by radio that the passenger saw something near an old sheep corral. He then briefly saw the back of a tall, skinny, gray figure with long arms and a pointy head in his headlights before it left quickly.
