Account
Ronald Correll and his two sons were hiking the trail to Pamelia Lake, off Hwy 22, when they came on 17" tracks near the trail and running parallel to it, heading downhill, for a mile and a half. They looked something like bear tracks, "but bears don't walk on their hind legs." (or have 17" feet)
