Bigfoot Sightings

OBSERVED: I was in the backseat of my Dad's car and with my peripheral vision, I saw something on the south side of the highway in the ditch. There was some bushes near the highway. I looked out the rear window and saw a large Sasquatch cross the 2 lane highway in 3-4 strides. He was in the wooded area on the north side of the highway in about 5 seconds. I have never been on this highway before as my Dad picked me up in Hope at the bus station. I was moving to Mission with him after high school. After another 5 minutes, we passed an inn &/or campground called Sasquatch Inn. It confirmed what I saw I guess because I kind of sat there dumbfounded afterwards, not quite believing what I saw. I certainly wasn't expecting to see one that day. Didn't tell anyone about it for years because I didn't think anyone would believe me. When I have told people, they said it was probably a bear. Not possible as a bear does not have the same type of gait that I witnessed. A bear walking upright would not, could not have the stride length that this animal had.

Additional Info: The Sasquatch did not slow down but he did tilt his head as if he was watching for traffic! He walked swiftly and with hunched shoulders. His hands were curved downwards and they swung opposite of the leg that was extended. Very big and very hairy. Dark colour like a brown black. Did not see his face though. Will never forget that day. I remember it as if it was yesterday. I feel privileged to have been one of few that has had ever seen one. I don't know if my story helps you any because it was 23 years ago but I thought I would share it with you anyway.

Activities of Witness: Sitting in the car looking out the side window at the scenery.

Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: I would assume so with an Inn named after it. I was not aware of any sightings but I was only 18 and never been there before.
