Class B First-hand BFRO #27844

Two young men hiking outside Tehachapi come across possible tracks

January 2010 about 2 or 3pm Tehachapi, Kern County, California 2 witnesses

Account

While hiking to search for lost sunglasses, the witness noticed a large human-like barefoot track. The companion later viewed the track and estimated the maker would be at least seven feet tall and the track a few days old. The pair kept watch while returning to the car, and snow fell after they reached home.
