Account
Man and son went in by snowmobile to shovel snow off roof of cabin at Lewis Lake (described as Cheakamus River but 6,000 feet up, can't find on map). Found around dozen cabins bipedal, five-toed tracks taking six foot strides. Took three steps to get from one track to next. Snow 17 feet deep, mostly fallen in past three weeks. Stopped on way out at Stanyer's cabin, in state of great excitement but would not give name.
