π Description
Found a footprint 17" or more along banks of Brownie creek on NF Rd. 48, [8.3] miles up the road [from 21 junction] at a culvert and bridge.We stopped at the bridge on Brownie Creek where there was a cool turquoise icy cold pool and a culvert to explore around and check to see if any cool rocks (gold) got trapped in the ribs of the culvert inside. While I was hiking further up creek along the sandy banks, I nearly stepped directly into what I instantly realized looked like a giant footprint at least 17" or bigger.
π Circumstances
My Wife Ella, and my 2 children all saw the prints
