Major Waddell's Yeti Prints

The Legend:
In 1889, Major L.A. Waddell was exploring the Himilayas when he discovered huge footprints in the snow at 17,000 feet. His bearers informed him they were the tracks of a Yeti, a creature quite likely to attack humans and carry them away as food. They further advised him that if he should ever need to escape from the creature, to run downhill; if it foolows, its long hair would get in its eyes and blind it.
