Incident #1000111
Endako, Hwy 16, British Columbia
Oct 1977
Account
Newspaper photo caption gave no indication as to who found the tracks. They came down an extremely steep embankment, across sand and down to a stream that leads to the Nechako River, walking bipedally. Prints were 12" long and 7" wide, five toes, no claw marks. Toes showed, but track was shallow and indistinct, presumably old. Location near Cheslatta Falls.
