Apache County, Arizona · 1986-07-06 · from the BFRO archive
It was our annual summer camping trip and I was in the back of the car with my uncle. My grandmother and grandfather were in the front and my grandma and uncle were sleeping. I was staring out the side window and slightly forward. While looking I saw a large animal that I thought was a bear. It was only a very brief view but the animal was walking upright and was very furry. I mentioned to my grandfather that I saw a "huge bear" walking upright but he laughed and said it must have been trying to climb a tree. But there was a break in the trees where I saw the creature. It looked like it was going off of the side of the road into the forest. I cannot be sure what it was. But, it was so very odd that it certainly looked like it was "walking" on two legs. It was dark so I couldn't distinguish any other features.
