As a child, with his parents and three sisters, camped at an unimproved campsite being made by the forest service on the South Fork of the Trinity River near Hyampom. His father found a set of "perfect" footprints in a gravel bar by the river. Over 6 ft., but father's wader came only to the ball of the foot.
