LAL, may I suggest temporarily taking Greg off ignore? If I quote his above post it won't show the photos.
No need. It came through just fine in my e-mail notification. I wasn't getting any for awhile, now I'm getting them all.
The photo was identified by Jeff Meldrum himself when Greg and Bill were hoo-hahing about Dr Meldrum having a Wallacefoot on a webpage. It's a Titmus cast. Copies were available for sale in the area and Green has mentioned the carver of the wooden feet apparently used one, or a photo of the print, as a model.
Try to imagine that foot making a print that would yield a cast like Titmus'.
I posted this entire article earlier, but here's an excerpt:
" A few weeks later I got a letter from Bob Titmus saying that he and another man had found and cast distinctly different tracks, roughly 15 inches long, on a sandbar in the creek below where the road crew was working I immediately returned to Bluff Creek and saw for myself that these new tracks were impressed about an inch deep in damp sand packed so hard that my own prints hardly marked it and that they were in a situation where the use of any sort of machinery to make them appeared to be impossible.
It is carvings of those tracks, not the 16-inch “Bigfoot” tracks, that a nephew of Ray Wallace has displayed in photographs. They are fitted with straps so they can be walked on like snowshoes, but like snowshoes there is no way that human weight could impress them deeply into hard material.
In the next year and a half I was back at Bluff Creek several more times, spending about six weeks in all, and saw the 15” tracks in three more locations and also a third type of tracks, about 14” long, in another location east of Bluff Creek. I never saw the 16” track again at Bluff Creek but did see tracks that resembled it farther south at Hyampom in 1963. It was also reported seen frequently in 1963 and 1964 when logging was going on in the Bluff Creek valley, and Roger Patterson made a good cast of it there in 1964. The 15” tracks were also repeatedly seen, and were photographed and cast by a number of people in that period. Sometimes they were accompanied by tracks roughly 13”, and Rene Dahinden and I saw those tracks together in three different places at Bluff Creek in 1967, in one instance being able to study hundreds of both tracks. Later in 1967 Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin went to Bluff Creek, because of the tracks Rene and I had seen, and not only got a movie of the creature but watched it making tracks which they later cast. These tracks were also approximately 14”. If it is the same as the 14” from years before then there are at least four distinct tracks that have been observed at Bluff Creek, if it is different then there are five. There is also a 12” track usually discounted because it is within human range.
For all of these, while they remain recognizable as individuals, there is a considerable range of shapes, toe positions, length of stride, etc., conforming to slopes, obstacles and other influences. Those are the Bluff Creek tracks that I know about. Over the years there were, of course, far more that I didn’t see; many other people who investigated them; hundreds who went just to see for themselves after being told about them, and some who reported coming on them far from any road when they were timber cruising or road locating.
Ray Wallace is connected to all this in only two ways that have been established. The men who first reported the 16” tracks were his employees, and it was the Bluff Creek events that started him on his long career, mainly after he moved to Washington, of producing and trying to sell crudely-faked track casts and photographs and telling outrageous whoppers about his adventures with “Bigfoots.” Ray wasn’t around any of the times I went to Bluff Creek and I never met him, but I was told right from the beginning of his reputation as a practical joker and yarn spinner, the latter being was amply confirmed when he phoned me and wrote letters to me over the years. There were people in California, of course, who were sure the footprints had to be faked, and some of them fingered Ray Wallace as the person they “knew” had done it, but I have outlined the massive task that would have been involved, and no evidence was ever brought forward of any way that anyone could have done it."
