Creatures heard entering camp at night, travelling parallel to witnesses in brush, and creeping up on witnesses, but never seen. Bears were common in the area when witnesses arrived, seemed to be scared away by mystery creatures. Noises included what sounded like tooth-popping, pounding on something, rocks thrown in creek, breaking sticks.

Remarks
A lot going on besides tracks, but no sighting. The hand print was on a large, broken off, cottonwood branch, apparently used for digging. It was half again human size and showed no thumb print. What appeared to be double finger marks were dragged very heavily across two of witness' boot prints. Tracks came on the old road from the West, went a short distance North on the road, then left the road on the East side.
