Just west of Kirkwood Ski Resort in the Sierras on Hwy 88 back in 2005, a man and his Family were coming from the Jackson area heading east. They came upon emergency vehicles on the right hand side of the road with one being an ambulance, fire engine, law enforcement and possibly the Forest Service. He and his Wife noticed something big covered up on the side of the road and were able to see large black hairy limbs sticking out. They thought that was strange seeing that. He told me of this just a couple of years ago. I told him it was unlikely that it was a bear and probably a Bigfoot that got hit either from a hay or cattle truck. And emergency vehicles wouldn't be there due to a bear and putting a tarp over it, they don't do that around here, Caltrans takes care of that. Anyways I couldn't dig up anything about it. Here's a photo of Caples Lake just west of the incident.

Thanks for the welcome. I appreciate you taking this in the spirit intended. I am in a Bigfoot organization where no one I know even slightly questions P-G. I speak rather quietly of it for fear of becoming persona non grata, or at worst, getting kicked out. And keep in mind I am certain Bigfoot exists, it's just the P-G film I am uncertain about. Maybe some time on this forum will give me closure. I do believe there is more compelling, though less clear Bigfoot footage out there than P-G. I felt Greg Long wrote a rather compelling book. I did not like that it was a hit piece on Patterson, but I think he was accurate that he was a con man. He also convinced me that Patterson was a very talented artist with a great eye for detail. What Long did not do was much to debunk the film itself. As you said, a detail here ... a detail there. As for Phillip Morris, there is a huge contradiction in that Bob Heronymous said the costume was made out of horse hide, but Morris said it was made out of his fabric. Long glossed over that, but I'll give him credit for not overlooking it completely. Many squatchers have met Bob Gimlin and they swear he is an honest and believable guy, and do not want to believe he is lying. I try to avoid that issue because there is a possibility that he was not involved, but Patterson was. I really should log the Pros and Cons of the details and see how they compare. Thanks.

There is an animated gif on the BFRO website that is posted to show muscle movement on Patty. It is here: http://www.bfro.net/news/roundup/expeds_2018.asp To me, what I notice is a "belt" of fur that goes around the waist into the inverted "V" at the lower back. It appears that this fur belt is used to disguise an upper torso part of a suit that is separate from the lower portion and legs. There does not appear to be much vertical or diagonal stretching of musculature above and below the "belt" as one would expect as she walks. Instead it appears that the torso piece is rotating, outside and separately from the buttocks/leg piece, much like a larger pipe (the torso) would swivel around a slightly smaller fitted pipe inside of it (the legs). There are a lot of things about the Patty film that are compelling in terms of authenticity, but this is one aspect would indicate hoax.
