2002

It was the early afternoon on a beautiful Spring day. I was driving east on Highway 182 about 5 miles from Park Falls. My friend was in the car and observed it as well. We were headed to a tavern for a bite to eat and a drink. The creature ran across the road in three or four long strides then headed south down a small embankment. There were no houses in the area. What we observed was very tall, broad and hairy. It was not moving particularly fast and did not appear to be panicked about oncoming traffic. The creature's jog was a graceful "glide" only took about five seconds before it was gone. I even made the comment to my friend that it was Bigfoot. We pulled over where we saw the creature and exited the car to look for prints but did not notice anything - there was no trail. After we arrived at the tavern we told the regulars what we saw and no one believed us.
