Road crossing sighting 3mi north of Columbia Gorge, south of Willard

The witness was driving on Williard Road toward its junction in late afternoon when headlights revealed a large black figure in the roadway.

The witness first mistook it for a huge bear or multiple deer or elk before concluding it was a Sasquatch. A return visit to look for tracks found nothing after heavy rain.
