Class B First-hand BFRO #16644

Man and wife find large tracks with large stride east of Greenwater

April 1999 mid afternoon Greenwater, Pierce County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his wife were driving in the Greenwater area so the witness could hike up a snowy dirt road to look for sunglasses lost the previous winter. While hiking he found a line of unusually deep footprints with a long uphill stride. At the top where snow had melted, the last print was a clear impression in frozen mud showing five toes, arch and heel. He went back downhill to bring his wife to view the tracks.
