First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #21

[name withheld] shows Ray BF print in asphalt at Silver Fall State Park

July 1998 daytime Salem, Clackamas County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

On July 15 the narrator joined two companions to check a friend's report of tracks preserved in asphalt on a cabin access road in a state park. They found one clear impression about sixteen and a half inches long and a second fainter impression about thirty-three inches away heel to heel. The shaded road had been paved two years earlier, and the party wet the depression to photograph it.
