Incident #1000364
Orleans, Del Norte Cty, California
Aug 1964
Account
Tracks came downhill onto the Laird Meadow Road, went up the road 50 to 100 yards, then uphill off the road. Jean Hatter went after work to see them. There were only three or four good prints, plus poor ones in hard dry soil. They were the tracks he was used to seeing, presumably the 16-inch "Bigfoot".
