Forest Service employees see big footprints near Lake Isabella
Account
Two workers covering illegal OHV trails found unusually large human-like footprints near a meadow during lunch and photographed one. The prints were measured and noted to follow a fence line. Later the same day at another meadow area they found the same type of prints crossing a trail toward rock outcroppings, after which they left the area.
