Class B First-hand BFRO #56106

Family finds strange prints on a trail in Waubonsie State Park

June 2013 about 2:30 p.m. Sidney, Fremont County, Iowa 6 witnesses

Account

A family of two adults and four children were walking on a trail while camping when they noticed a line of very large footprints. The prints were described as deeply impressed into soil in a straight heel-to-toe line with a long stride. No photos, formal measurements, or casts were made because they were unsure how to handle the situation.
