Incident #1001491
Corral, Camas Cty, Idaho
Oct 1977
Account
Three U.S. Forest Service workers on a temporary logging road 3 or 4 miles Northeast of Smoky Dome Peak in Sawtooth National Forest saw a figure walking on two legs about 150 yards upslope from the road. Two were women, who dismissed the incident. Steve Barber knew from having walked in the same clearing while hunting that the figure had to be 8 to 9 feet high, and he went back later and found it took him nearly a minute at a full run to cover the distance the creature had walked "at a leisurely pace" in 20 seconds.
