Multiple witness incident on the western slope of Silver Star Mt., near Pyramid Rock
Account
A group stopped their pickup on an unfamiliar foggy road to scout ahead on foot. Hearing rocks tumbling and then finding large fresh footprints crossing their recent path, they ran back to the vehicle. While turning the truck around, the writer saw a large dark hairy biped about 50 feet behind them look at them and keep going.
