Class B First-hand BFRO #4508

Possible track find in snow, near the town of Sand Lake

January 1990 mid-morning, about 10 or 11 am Sand Lake, Rensselaer County, New York 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were cross-country skiing on a logging road in January when they found large, fresh, barefoot-like tracks crossing the trail. The tracks had not been there about ten minutes earlier, were estimated at 1.5 to 2 feet long, and only two prints spanned the 6- to 7-foot-wide trail. They found no vehicle tracks or other human footprints to explain them and left the area quickly.
