Class B First-hand BFRO #38933

Footprints found along snow covered road near Whiskeytown Lake

January 2013 Early afternoon Old Shasta, CA Near Redding, Shasta County, California 3 witnesses

Account

Three people riding horses in snow noticed large bare-foot tracks with toes alongside many animal tracks. The main trackway came up from a gulch, followed the road, then returned downhill, with smaller tracks joining from a steep draw. They examined the prints up close and photographed them, noting three sizes with the largest about 17 inches long.
