On friday June the 3rd 2016 early in the morning my son and i were heading up to Kelowna from the lower mainland for a sports tournament we had left our home about 3:00 am and had been driving for about 3.5 hrs we were travelling on the Okanagon connector hwy 97c we were about 1 hour away from kelowna city the time was approximately 6:45am it was a clear sunny morning and felt quite warm as the temperature would reach 36 degrees celcius later on that day.
While driving i observed a fence on the right hand side running along side the highway, as we were driving i scanned further up to watch for deer and other wild life i was approaching a small over pass when i observed what i thought to be a person walking along side the fence at first that's what i thought it to be a tall person wearing a brown jacket and a cow boy hat with very large gum boots, i could only see the back i could not see the hands i thought it may be a construction worker pushing a wheel barrow or carrying something as my vehicle approached closer to the person i noticed the size of the boots being worn on this individual i myself wear a size 13 and notice this person must have been wearing a size 22...also what i thought was a wide cowboy hat ...as my vehicle went over the small over pass the person went out of sight as i got to the end of the over pass i slammed on the brakes pulled over and got out, now at this point i had viewed the person for a good 15 seconds my mind was trying to make sense of what i had just seen this was no way a person, that hat was actually a very large wide head that coat was fur those gum boots were actually extremely large calf muscles and it had very large wide feet at this point my brain had solved the mystery of what i had seen and had told me to pull over grab my phone and snap a picture...when i got out of my vehicle and looked back it was gone (possibly hiding under the over pass) there was a little trail leading down to the under pass.., i realized i had to make a decision now whether to pursue the creature and abandon my 10 year old boy on the side of the highway sitting in my truck or drive away...the risk was too great and not worth it so i abandon the search.
