π Description
We were driving home Sunday March 25,2001 from Grand Prairie Alberta to Tumbler Ridge, B.C. We were taking a short cut through Kelly Lake reserve that leads to Boot Lakecut off which is primarily used for oil and gas.With the exception of Kelly Lake there are no residential ares for at least 100km.We turned onto Boot Lake road and pulled over to let the kids go to the washroom when I noticed some large tracks. I asked my husband what made those tracks and he thought I was looking at coyote tracks. When I pointed out the large man-like foot prints my husband, three children and my self were all stunned. There were about eight clear, bare-footedfoot prints in the light cover of snow in the shallow ditch at the side of the road. My husband tried to match the stide of the prints but fell short by about half. The ninth print went up into the bush were the willows were bent and broken over.We did not have a camara on us and part of us found it hard to believe what we were seeing. There is a gas plant around that area that reported tracks around it's site about 10 years ago. I don't know what made those tracks but I have't been able to stop thinking about them since we saw them.
π Circumstances
My husband, my three children and myself.
