Incident #1000351
Hyampom, Trinity Cty, California
Apr 1963
Account
Syl McCoy and others found these older tracks when looking around the Donald L. Jones homesite after fresh tracks were found there. They were about 50 yards away, and had been made in mud which had since dried and cracked. Estimated length 16 inches, and may well have been tracks of the individual in Incident 1000349, about a mile away, but did not have the right foot turning out. Same as tracks in Incident 1000352, which did.
