The clip is 6 seconds long and shows the 4th track. This clip basically matches the LeClerc composite.

How does Munns come up with 202 frames? He must have much more footage of the 4 tracks - but what?

202 frames / 6 seconds = 33.6 fps. No way is that frame rate correct.

Drew, ask Munns how his trackway footage differs from what we are talking about here.
 
Ho~ly, holy, holy crap! I was poring over Wallace's letters to fellow Bigfoot hoaxer Ray Crowe to see if I could find any references to Roger Patterson. * Check * this * out *


Roger had a rich brother-in-law that owned a rock crusher as he was here with Roger one time at my place so I am sure he financed Roger to help him get that movie.

This is the third page of a letter dated to 12/22/97.

Whoa! Was Wallace telling Crowe about Roger and Al coming to see him in California or Washington? Wallace was in the area and he was hoaxing when Roger was also there. We know Roger was there around the time Wallace was hoaxing because we have him on film there. So Roger and Al visit Ray Wallace in NorCal near Bluff Creek and that is where he tells them to go, according to Wallace. Al tells Peter Byrne to lay off the PGF because he knows it's a hoax. This is based on Al telling Peter that Roger told Al he was going to Bluff Creek to film a Bigfoot. He also tells Peter not to quote him because of his familial relations to Roger. But Al and Roger were down there together at Ray Wallace's house before that!? This is hu~ge! How the heck does this fit in? Does this mean that Al also accompanied Roger to Hollywood? This can't be when Jerry and Roger went, right? And Al was telling Long that he didn't care at all for Roger's Bigfoot stuff. How much does Al really know? Crap! I'm glad I've held off on speaking with Al. This is something that I am going to have to invesitgate for the doc project much, much further.

Even if it was not Al and Roger visiting Ray in Cali, but rather in WA, it was still before the PGF and it was Bigfoot related. By Al's account, Roger was a nuisance that he threw a few cash bills at now and then to keep him out of his hair. But this right here shows Al hooked up with Roger on Bigfoot trips - to a hoaxer's house no less! Why the heck is Al there? What's he doing? Is this evidence of Al being part of the PGF hoax?
 
I was struck by the old miner stories that Wallace told. These must have been the basis for Roger's movie script.
 
Was Wallace making stompers out of fiberglas too?

As to the wooden feet the Wallace family produced, life-size photos of them are also on display, and they do not at all resemble the original "Bigfoot" tracks they are supposed to have made. They were apparently carved, rather crudely, in imitation of the casts Bob Titmus made of the second type of tracks he found (Figure 2). Accurate, shoe-mounted fiberglass copies of those casts are also here, and anyone who can get in size 11 shoes is welcome to try them out (Figure 9).

Cool photo of "Wallace stompers". My own size 11's are just about 30 cm (1') long, and some rudimentary scaling and algebra indicates that those stompers would leave prints in the 14-15" range.

They aren't actually Wallace stompers. Wallace used carved Alder wood for his stompers. Those fiberglass things attached to shoes were made by bigfoot believers to try to discredit the idea that tracks were faked.

Demonstrations were put on for both CNN and FOX News in which their own people, walking on fiberglass copies of genuine 15" tracks, learned that deep tracks can't be made in firm sand that way, even, in the case of CNN, by two men weighing a combined 440 pounds. The TV people who actually tried it and photographed it were quickly convinced, but in each case when the brief news segments were broadcast that was not mentioned and the Sasquatch researchers were ridiculed for refusing to recognize the reality of the Wallace claims.
 
I think Green fully understands the situation. He's been pretending that Bigfoot exists for many decades now. He and others enjoy that hobby.
 
Green seems to be saying that there were very few tracks from Patty...

Basically, no trackway. Just a dozen or so tracks.

The Patterson creature didn’t just leave her image on film, she left tracks in the
sandbar. As usual they were far deeper than the tracks of the humans that walked
around them. Roger Patterson and his partner cast two of them. A day or so after
they left the area a forestry crew happened on the scene and three tracks were
photographed by a young man who later became one of the top executives in the
U.S. Forest Service. Several days after that Bob Titmus made casts of all the
remaining tracks, one of which I expect may figure in the presentation Dr.
Meldrum will be making later this morning.

It looks like a modified Wallace. They left the big toe as a silly rectangle but rounded off the others. They also moved the toes further out away from the ball.
