Willie Roemermann was the only person at the Sycamore Flats Campground. His dog was acting nervous. He saw an erect creature, estimated 8 feet tall, take a couple of steps and freeze by a large bush. Tried to photograph it, but light inadequate. Next day took photos and casts of 16.5-inch, 5-toed tracks.
