Mike Francis, hiking on a wooded hillside above the family home, half way between Crow and Lorane, found three tracks, 15 inches by 8 inches, with four toes, crossing a dirt logging road. Stride was almost 7 feet. The best track was half an inch deep in hard mud. Ron Olson saw them and decided they were not genuine because the stride was too long and the deepest imprint was in the hardest part of the road.
