Forest Service employees see footprints in Six Rivers National Forest

November 2001 Mid-afternoon Six Rivers Nat'l Forest, Humboldt County, California 2 witnesses

Account

Two forestry technicians stopped for lunch at Onion Lake while closing seasonal gates. During a walk around the lake, the witness found tracks coming out of the shallow water and going into the forest. Both workers examined the prints, measured them with a tape, recorded details in notebooks, then left to finish work without telling supervisors.
