The Brookings, Oregon Curry Coastal Pilot Newspaper September 24, 2005:
Daniel Perez contacted informant, 35-year-old Travis Cover from Brookings, Oregon. Perez notes that Cover himself is 6 feet 7 inches tall.
On highway 199 in Del Norte County, northern California on September 22 at about 5:30 am during a routine drive, Travis Cover noted, “It was still dark outside and I was driving along. I reached down to grab my lunch and when I looked back up there it was, – a big hairy monster standing next to a yellow road sign.”
Mr. Cover told Perez he was driving a conventional truck and was going about his business as a trucker, heading northbound on highway 199 toward Oregon at the time of the sighting. Based on the road sign and further investigation, the head on the bigfoot appeared “parallel to the steering wheel. Mr. Cover estimated the size of the subject at 8 feet 3 inches tall. He remarked to Perez on the phone, “…sh*t, ..he was so thick, maybe 800 pounds or so… three or four feet thick.”
Daniel Perez asked the informant if he thought it could have been a costumed man, Cover replied, “there’s no way!” Asked if he was scared, Cover replied, “…yeah.” When Cover reported the incident he told Perez he was “talking 90 miles an hour.”
Mr. Cover told the Brookings, Oregon Curry Coastal Pilot Newspaper, “..it raised its arm to block the beam from my headlights. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
