Events Observed:
We were driving down a trail, looking for blueberries. We saw a big cat cross the trail ahead of us and had stopped at the point where it had crossed the trail. We wanted to get a better look. The cat was gone, but we saw something else. There was a very large creature walking like a human It was entirely covered in hair and was only 25 to 30 feet away from us. The creature was walkng away from the road. This thing was about 8 to 10 feet high and had long arms that came down to it's knees. It's arms swung as it walked. It's head had to be about 1 and a half feet wide, which had a point at the top. The creature stopped momentarily and turned it's head to look at us. The colour of it was a mixture of dark and light grey. The face hair was darker. The nose was broad and flat.
It continued along away from us then, and we noticed it's stride. It had to be between 5 to 6 feet between steps. It's shoulders were also very broad with muscle definition. This creature was extremely large. The brush it was walking through was only about two feet high. There was no smell to be noticed at all. We did not leave our vehicle for the entire time, which was a couple of minutes. After the creature vanished into the bush we left. It was out of the ordinary.

Additional information.
I spoke with the witnesses for about 1.5 hours. They were very sincere and genuine and also very knowledable about the local wildlife. I brought out some pictures of a Sasquatch and they were quick to relate what they had seen to my pictures. I sensed a bit of fear during their recollection of the incident, which is completely normal. This was a very close encounter. I investigated the area a few days later. There were a couple of telltale signs of Sasquatch activity. A couple of the animal paths that crossed the road had tree snaps at about the 6 to 7 foot level, indicating the direction of the trail. These trails also went through some very thick brush. I also discovered a partial footprint in the sand. It was 9 Inches wide and about an Inch deep. There were two clearly defined toes in it. This area clearly deserves more study.
