Our possible brush with cryptozoology
Before I forget, and the creature tracks us down to eat us in our sleep, I should tell you about the Thing.
On the bumpy road back from Skyline Divide, an animal bounded across the road a ways in front of us. We all saw this thing. It ran like a predator and was too square to be a deer, too big to be a fox or bobcat, too dark to be a cougar. Too quadrupedal to be a sasquatch. When I saw it, my brain said, "big dog!" but what the hell would a dog be doing out there? My bet's on cougar, personally. It was Irish Setter red, and while cougars aren't usually that dark, I don't think it's impossible.
