Harrison Hot Springs, Harrison Lake, British Columbia
Feb 1991
Account
On the Clear Creek logging road, big tracks like barefoot human tracks were found in the spring in more than one year, according to Joe Verhovany. He did not go there in order to see the tracks, but he did try to follow them more than once, stopping because the going was too rough.
