Incident #1001327
Ellensburg, Kittitas Cty, Washington
mid 1960's
Account
Parents said while on a hunting trip their children, riding in top bunk of camper, looking out the window, saw two upright, hairy creatures walking up a ridge well above the road as they were driving East of Colockum Pass on Little Caribou (Creek, presumably, not on 1:250,000 map). So big they looked like trees walking. They were unable to attract the attention of their parents in the cab.
