Man Finds Tracks in Muskwa River Floodplain

September 2000 about 5 pm Fort Nelson, British Columbia 1 witness

Account

The witness stopped in a river floodplain to look for rocks and found large tracks crossing his path. He followed the trackway for nearly a quarter mile and photographed the prints with his boot for scale, noting they were larger and deeper than his own boot impression. While following, he saw a group of resident wild horses running from the direction of the tracks, which he interpreted as spooked.
