A very tall figure in Cowlitz County, Washington

Hello .The year was 2006, July. The time was eight thirty PM. We were driving back from Mt. St. Helens, Washington. It was a sunny day so we went to see the mountain that day. We were driving down the road along side the Toutle River which was to the right of the van. We were in my family van at the time. We been driving some time on the road. I had my RCA video camera fully charged ready to go. I was in the back seat of the Ford Areostar van and my daughter in the seat in front of me. She was about 8 years old then. When out of the corner of my eye I spotted a large brownish red gray ... what I thought was a bear at first, standing in the Toutle River up to its middle calf. It had to be 9 feet tall. It was in the water about 5 feet from the bank. The sunlight was shining on this creature. It was massive in size stature and girth. You could see the arm muscles, back dorsal muscles, leg muscles, buttock, and thigh muscles. It was facing back side to us. The head was the size of a five gallon bucket, massive. I was so shocked at what I was seeing. It was no bear at all. It had massive shoulders. You could see all the muscles through the dense hair. It was amazing .This was the elusive Sasquatch. It looked like a giant massive hairy man with massive arms they were long. It had to be a male. It was looking down as though he was fishing or looking to find something to eat. I was so amazed at what I was seeing I said, "Hey Meg look at that." That is the name of my daughter. She saw it too. To this day she still remembers what she saw and believes it was a bigfoot. I told my brother in law, he was driving my van at the time, to slow down and pull over, I want to video tape something real important. He said he did not believe me. He wanted to get back home. It pissed me off so bad. I WOULD OF HAD THE VIDEO OF THE Sasquatch! It was a once in a lifetime thing if your lucky to see one. If you ever get a chance to see one you will never forget it. It's always in my mind. I painted a picture of it. It turned out well. This is a true story I stake my life on it. Hope to here back from you soon. Sorry about my spelling.
