Tucker family blog: Bigfoot print?

Tanner and I fished Caples creek today and came across this very interesting footprint. At first I thought that it was from a large hiking boot but then I noticed faint toe prints. If you look closely to the left of the print, you may be able to see a couple of impressions that, to me, look like toes. The print was in an area where the ground was slightly softer than the surrounding soil. My guess is that the area had a lasting patch of snow that was slowly melting over the last couple of months which made the ground wet. The area of the print where it shows the sole of the foot was slightly lower than the area of the toes. The toe area was drier while it was obvious that muddy water had settled in the sole area and then dried. The print measured 15.5 in length and 5 inches wide. I know that it's really hard to make out the toe prints from the photo but up close in person, it was much more clear. I'm thinking of going back to make a plaster cast of the print. It's a remote place and very rugged though, i'm not looking forward to the hike back in. About an hour after seeing the print, Tanner heard some loud wood knocking near by which is is a way that some primates communicate with each other. Unfortunately, I did not hear what Tanner heard as I was a few dozen yards away playing with Foxy.
As for the fishing, it was tough. They are emptying Caples lake which meant that the creek was raging high and fast. I did manage to catch four wild Rainbow trout while Tanner landed a wild Brown trout.
