Incident #1000371
Orleans, Del Norte Cty, California
1967
Account
Dave Blake Jr. stopped at the trailer camp where fallers were living on a Bluff Creek sandbar, to see three 15 to 16-inch tracks in hard sand where the logging road went by the camp, about two miles north of Louse Camp. Blake says the fallers moved out that evening, which suggests that these may actually be the tracks made at the end of August, when that did happen (1000372) although Blake recalls this incident as being in June or July.
