Class B First-hand BFRO #56798

Possible track way found in the snow in Vaughn Woods State Park east of Dover

14 February 2017 4:30pm at sunset South Berwick, York County, Maine 1 witness

Account

The witness was hiking alone in a snowy state park while occasionally whooping and knocking. She found a straight line of large, fresh footprints in snow from the previous day and followed it off-trail for about a quarter mile, noting toe and heel details in some prints. She documented the trackway with photos and video before turning back as daylight faded and her phone battery died.
