I'll tell u my story from 2 months ago:
Took a trip to Cali with my 9 yo son. Rented a car and hit a lot of scenic places. As a cut thru to the Giant Seq Park I took this backroad (Sherman Pass Road)thru the National Forest. Hardly a soul to be seen on that road for 60 miles. Almost like going thru Death Valley
I come out of a curve and about 125 yards away this brown figure was quickly crossing the road in a curve. Strided across the road is the best description. It never stopped, looked ,etc. It stunned me for a few seconds as to say "is this what I think it is ". It was 4pm with no visibility issues at all
I figured there'd be a man or truck on the upper side of the road when I got close. I stopped at the spot and looked around. Nothing there. Was too scared to get out. It was weird. Plus just my boy with me, who had fallen asleep. Had I had a gun or an adult I'm getting out to investigate.
I'd say the figure was a medium build around 6 to 6'5. The Lat/long of the crossing is 36 3 21.25 N,118 12 31.72 W. I was in the bend east of that one, heading west. It crossed going east.
My guesses were it was a wild man, a prankster, or "it". My kid thinks it's fun to bring it up to other people but I'm hesitant, knowing the response I'm going to get.
The facts are:
It's intent was to get across that road. No "money shot" was given
Why such a hurry to cross. I saw 3 cars and 2 bikes over many miles of travel
I've hunted for 30 plus years. Also a biologist. Absolutely not a quadruped
Was wide awake chewing gum, no sun glare issues
There's a campground about a mile past this sighting. However it's very primitive and no one was there.
They don't allow houses camps etc in the Park. So no local idiots near by.
I passed a park ranger going east several miles before. I put off contacting him thru the service. He could have seen or known of something ??
I get to Giant Seq Park and of course my kid is excited to tell a ranger. So I was now expected to tell this lady. She did say around Mt St Helens that rangers see "figures" too, but not in my area that she was aware of.
Personally I wish I didn't see it. Cause now I gotta wonder for the rest of my life.
So that's my story...

Unless I am putting this in wrong... isn't this in China?

You're putting it in wrong. Put a negative (-) in front of the longitude (118) since it is West and not East.
Edit: Or do what the poster above me said.
