While heading to cabin at 6:30 a.m., husband and wife have sighting near Wipsipinicon River
Account
A couple driving on an unimproved road in the early morning smelled a strong odor and then saw a large hairy creature standing beside the trail about 50 yards ahead. The creature looked toward them briefly before turning and walking away into cover with long strides. The husband later described the encounter to an investigator by phone, while the wife declined to discuss it because she was frightened.
