Father and daughter observe unusual tracks

4 April 2001 late afternoon Kennedy Meadows, Tulare County, California 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and her father were hiking back toward Kennedy Meadows Campground after crossing the river upstream when the witness noticed unusual barefoot-like prints in the forest between the river and the Pacific Crest Trail. Both examined the prints, described as large, flat, five-toed and human-like. They could not age the prints precisely but thought they were made after rain five days earlier and within the last day or two.
