Family on vacation find tracks in an isolated area.

On March 9, 1969, a group visiting a vacation property on Bear Creek found very large footprint-like depressions in deep snow.

The group left without further investigation, and the witness later notified the county sheriff, whose follow-up found additional tracks and produced casts.
