Incident #1000876
Randle, Lewis Cty, Washington
Jun 1976
Account
Dave Fryberger and two friends found weathered humanlike tracks measuring 16 to 18 inches by 6 to 8 inches in soft spots in the trail to Glacier Lake. These were probably the same tracks seen on May 9 by Bill and Chris Owens, of Packwood, on May 9. Their authenticity was disputed because they showed only here and there in soft earth on or near the trail.
