Account
Winnifred Bates went to see tracks found the previous day on (or near) the road to Covelo. There was supposed to have been a grader tire rammed down over a stump and other items disturbed, but no evidence of this remained. Tracks were 15 inches long and three times the depth of human prints. Five toes, an arch, and a two-inch scar protruding on the bottom of one foot. Other such tracks had been reported several times on previous days, farther from Paskenta There were more reports the following summer on the Toomes Camp Road.
