Randy White organized a skunk-ape expedition, with members of a high school ROTC unit taking part. One of the students at an observation post saw an ape at the fringe of a cypress head across a large pond at the edge of camp, and huge footprints were found there. No sizes in story, but photos give an idea of the footprint dimensions. No approximate location.
