Account
A Forest Service employee named Troy told Richard Siefried, MUFON investigator, that he and another man were driving home from Salmon, Idaho and stopped at Waggonhammar Springs below Steen Mtn. (not on 1:500,000 map) for a drink of water. The other man, first out of the truck, screamed, and Troy heard a big animal crashing in the underbrush. His companion said he had seen a giant apelike creature sitting on a boulder watching them.
