#163 TRACKS IN THE WILD (EVIDENCE EXPEDITION PT1)

Fred details a field expedition conducted with a partner to an undisclosed wilderness area several miles from a prior track site. While navigating a trail near an area referred to as Grizzly Camp, Fred locates and measures multiple sets of fresh, deep, barefoot impressions in firm mud beds. The documented tracks include small juvenile footfalls demonstrating unique mid-tarsal flexibility, a distinct bipedal trail moving in opposing directions, and an apparent handprint impression. Fred contrasts the depth of the impressions against his own 200-pound weight to establish significant down-force, and notes hearing a distant vocalization directly prior to recording.
