Account
Voytek Tertill was driving east on the Trans Canada Highway just past Rogers Pass about 1 a.m. when he saw an animal walking east on the right side of the road on its hind legs. As he went by it seemed to wander off into the forest. Estimated 7 feet tall, fairly slender, covered with brown hair. In sight about 5 seconds. Didn't stop, or report to anyone until he read Tom Steenburg's book.
