Account
Mickey Jarvi was with a group snowmobiling on Road 2100 off Rte. 97 between Cle Elum and Wenatchee. He walked up a dead-end road from their camp over Mission Ridge ski resort and found 16-inch tracks with a 60" stride. Jon Beckjord saw them a week later, counting 300 over a distance of 3/4 of a mile. (Camp said to be 30 miles up Road 2100, which is not on 1:250,000 map.)
