"At least there aren't a lot of hills on the route I'm taking so if I have to peddle I can still do that."
I thought you said you were in BC, not Illinois.
I'm in the Fraser Valley, which is a wide flat delta of land where the Fraser River flows out into the ocean. The highway I'm taking skirts the mountains on the north side, going from Vancouver at the westernmost part to Hope, BC, where it ends (rad flag on Google image below).
Wow. It was maybe ancient squatch country. In my area a recent sighting occurred recently. Relatively flat terrain as in yours.
There have been a number of stories of sasquatch sightings in the mountains just north and east of here. It's very rugged country and mostly inaccessible except by logging roads. Harrison Lake, Stave Lake, and Pitt Lake are just north of the valley and are notorious for sasquatch incidents over the years. I would love to go on an extended expedition into that area if I could. I hiked/canoed through the area back when I was 20 years old, hiking from Aloette Lake up to the top of Golden Ears Mountain, then down again and around to the other side of the mountain at the south part of Pitt Lake, canoeing from there to the north tip of the lake to camp before canoeing back down the length of the lake to Pitt River at the south end, following it out onto the Fraser River and back to civilization. It was an incredible experience. No sightings though.
