An account in San Bernardino County, California

Me and my family decided to go fishing at Silverwood lake and we got there around 1:30pm......i was fishing by the lake and after a while of not catching anything i decided to put a 2nd rod about 100ft away from the 1st one..i went back to my 1st and around 3-4pm i decided to check on the 2nd rod and my 3&4 yr old daughters were following me so i sent them back with my wife.i thought they had gone back so i kept on walking towards the 2nd rod all of a sudden i heard leaves crunching to my left about 30 ft away from me i saw an ape like hairy looking creature with light brown hair....it had long arms that were swinging while it ran...it was also crouching a little to the front stood there in shock frozen for a while and realized my 4 year old daughter was behind me running back to my wife yelling "MOM!MOM! There's a big animal!"then i went back to mu wife and told her what i saw....What amazed me was the speed it was running......
