Pam Lovins is the BFRO Investigator who found and photographed these tracks in the snow. She found them while scouting for an upcoming BFRO expedition in Ohio, and this location will indeed be the area of the next Ohio expedition, so please don't needle Pam for the specifics of the location when she finally hops on this forum. Suffice it to say, it was in extreme SE Ohio. She will not be more specific than that. You may ask her any other questions about the case once she has replied to this message, showing that she found the thread. |

| Hi Pam. Cross Lanes , WV. How old did you feel the tracks were? What was the stride length? Are you planning on joining us on the Ohio expedition this year? |

Wow, just when I thought I couldn't get more excited about the expedition.
It is better to prepare and prevent, then repair and repent. |

Why do the tracks appear to be so close together?

Greetings to all! The tracks were on a rather short but steep incline. I feel the tracks were closer together because the squatch was picking its route very carefully. Notice that there are no skid marks; sure footed the whole way! Consistently 14 1/2", both left and right.
This was along a forest road. There were additional tracks, classic 'high-wire' tracks, along the inside of the guard rail for some distance. They were so cluttered with snow spray off of the road that they weren't very discernible, at least not to a camera. I don't expect that these tracks were more than 2-3 days old, and whatever made them was still around. I was knocked at several times while photographing the tracks. |

Hello everyone, I was reading about the footprints disappearing and that made me curious. This past winter I found footprints coming the opposite direction on a snow covered trail and they went under a bush full of snow without making the snow come off of the bush. The picture that I am referring to is here: www.geocities.com/mrroy1999/footprints.jpg I know that these are human shoe prints but how could someone leave footprints in the snow without disturbing the snow on the branches of this bush. Just curious here in Germany.

| My guess would be that the person walked through shortly before the wet heavy snow came. |
