OBSERVED:
Two men prospecting were cooking dinner at their camp along upper Wolf Creek. They heard some commotion and turned to see a bear running through the forest. It ran past the camp, splashed through the creek and up the other bank and into the forest. Immeadiatly they heard another animal running through the woods and turned to see a bigfoot running along the same path as the bear; by the camp, through the creek and into the woods. Both animals paid the men no attention and were fairly close; (50-75 ft) from their camp. After a moment of stunned silence, one of the men asked; "What did you just see?" They then walked over to the creek and found prints of both the bear and the bigfoot and stated that one bigfoot print was superimposed over one of the bear prints.
