Stettler, Castor, Alberta
Oct 1980
Account
Mrs. Kaye Taylor writes that tracks were found just East of Castor, appearing from the side of a gravel road close to the bridge over a narrow, water-filled coulee. They went Northwest across a plowed field and a garden, back to the edge of the coulee, doubled back through the garden, where some parsley was torn up and strewn about, and took a curving course through the field towards the East, crossed a North-South gravel road and ended in a cemetery heavily treed with old spruce close to the origingal gravel road. Total distance was a half mile. Tracks were 15" by 5-6".
