Class B First-hand BFRO #6706

Hikers see large print in Yolla Bolly Wilderness

June 1975 late afternoon Paskenta, Tehama County, California 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were backpacking in a remote wilderness and stopped at a trail seep to collect water. In the mud they found a single very large footprint that was filling with seep water. They felt it was not a bear or human track, camped nearby uneasily overnight without hearing anything unusual, and left at first light.
