Class B First-hand BFRO #14997

Possible approach to campers near Spring Creek Pass in the San Juan Mountains

10 June 2006 during and just after sunset, before darkness We Were In The Middle Between Lake City And Creede, Hinsdale County, Colorado 2 witnesses

Account

A couple stopped at sunset in a pullout beside a stream to eat and fish for the night. The witness heard loud crashing in brush near the truck, faint low growls from across the road, and later loud splashing from a drainage, while the companion reported finding very large, deep footprints in mud by the stream. Neither saw the source of the sounds or tracks, and they left the area feeling something large had stayed hidden nearby.
