Considering Noll's track record with spinning information (People saying "Maybe it's Bigfoot." "More like Dickfoot" in the Memorial Day video getting reported as something like "The people involved said they saw Bigfoot"), I'm skeptical about taking his word that actual tracks were visible. Did Green or McClarin take any pictures of the alleged tracks so they can be compared to the ones taken by Laverty and Titmus?
But to show that I'm not pulling the depressions stuff out of nowhere, here a source:

Why yes he did walk the pathway and there is some footage of him doing it. Its worth watching just to compare the motion of him vs the PGF subject. I'm 100% convinced that there was a something of a visible trackway remaining in the spring when they got there. These photos show that they did a good job of framing the film.
In my own expierence I once cut across a sandy slope that ran between a boardwalk and a line of trees at Sunken Meadow State PK on Long Island. My tracks, which were the only ones in that area, stayed visible for several months in spite of the wind rain and general turbulance of the envirnment along the LI Sound. BTW Makaya since you're on LI why not check out Sunken Meadow its a great place. PM me and I'll even put you on to where you could leave tracks and study the way they disappear in the very sandy soil there. ![]()

Oh, look at that. No comment about the breasts. First thing you learn about Bigfoot enthusiasts, if it can't be made to support their arguments - no comment.
Second thing you learn about Bigfoot enthusiasts - they state things as fact and hope people will just accept it as such. Show me some gorillas with subducting horizontal lines across the thigh. Don't give me any stills or color variations. Just like the enthusiasts say, "show it to me moving." ...And don't forget Patty's boobs. |

My totally unscientific 2 minute analysis of your two photo crow :
There are two interresting thigns for me on these photo crow. Sure the above one is very obviously compressed latterally, but it seems the "apparent" height of patty is slightily lower, than the height of the guy on the photo and both hip seem to be at the same level. Naturally it could be an optical effect, perspective change , distance yada yada. But if you compare head / shoulder hip length and other ratio, she does not seem altogether different than the guy in white shirt. |

If you look carefully (... Oh wait, you wont) the width resolution is not the same. But the structure is, and padding can explain the rest.

Apevirus, my totally scientific and premeditated reason for posting the McClarin frames was for the benifit of Makaya. He mentioned the McClarin film and perhaps handn't seen anything from it. I'm aware of the compressed McClarin photo. However since its not offered as a size comparison it makes no difference to the puropse with which I posted it.

I knew that they weren't scaled properly, but that doesn't change the fact that......as I said......Patty is significantly wider, and more massive than Jim is. I enlarged the images a little...and widened the image of Jim, also... ![]() ![]() The images aren't scaled perfectly, yet....but they're close enough for now. |

Patty has kind of Bubble-Ass doesn't she? It's just like BLAM! no what I'm saying?
Sweaty, do you think the person wearing the Barney costume, is a giant-Bipedal-Dinosaur-shaped person? |

Sweaty, I've seen the McClarin footage all the way through. The differences in overall motion are impressive. In the event of Jim compressed or stretched it does not change his locked knees or his arm ratio. I've tried to find the full clip again but so far no luck. Incidently the Patty frame is nice quality, one of the better ones I've seen. Gives reason to expect that suit details as in Bill's work can be determined.

Drewbot, Why not come and visit Dolyestown in Bucks County PA. You'll get to see a resident population there and in the surrounding communities some really big "bubble butts". In fact skinny me used to sarcastically refer to the area as "Fat Butt County" when I lived there.

Crow, the top frame appears compressed horizontally to me. In the bottom frame, McClarin is not at the same angle as Patty. Both of these things mess with perception of width and bulk.
Nevertheless, Patty certainly appears bulkier. But that's what a suit would do. Patty's height is pretty well pegged by that tree as well, as most of us already know. We have, of course, been all over this topic 11 ways from Sunday. ![]() It's funny to see makaya come in here and "discover" things though, isn't it?

That's true....the differences between the two of them are quite large, and significant...and noticeable within a wide range of mis-scaling. One other difference is in their postures....Patty's is distinctly less upright than Jim's. I'll post another frame or two from Jim's walk later tonight.

I've never seen the full video on-line...only a short clip. The full, or nearly full, video is on the LMS dvd. That's where I'm taking these frames from. Do you have that, by any chance?

Yeah, it is. It's from LMS, too. As I've compared these two images more this afternoon, I'm really impressed by how closely the objects in the foreground and background match-up. John Green really did a great job with his re-creation! |

Its not my photo. Its a photo that's on the web and anyone can search it out. I posted it in case you hadn't seen anything form the McClarin film. But the full McClarin film is interesitng in that it shows a tall lanky guy taking a stroll in about as unlike a Patty fashion as can be imagined.
Exact trackway? Yes mention it but the usual suspects will find a way to derail it. Did you know the sky was blue above the Bluff Creek film site when Patterson did his filming. Grant is burried in Grant's tomb too but...... |

Keyser Söze wants to know how Patty`s path was determinated by McClarin & Co. Keyser Söze wants to know if the camera was at the same place that the cam used to shot PGF was. If the answer is an "yes", Keyser Söze wants to know how McClarin & Co. determinated the camera's exact position.
"'Cause they said so" will not be considered by Keyser Söze an adequate answer. |

People walk in different ways. Another person could have walked the same path as McClarin and looked different from both McClarin and Patty.
People claim that while BobH walks funny, it's not like Patty. Well, it's not like McClarin, either. Unless you have already detemined somehow that Patty is an unknown primate and not a person trying to look like one, McClarin's walk of the trackway says little about Patty, imo. |

I tried out to be a troll but the weight limit is 107 lbs and depending on my mood I'm either a few ounces of feathers and and attitude or a whopping 102 lbs of NY sunshine. Either form I just love it when the PGF is sitting in my lap as the real honest to Mayberry real deal. Shucks I wonder how many trolls, of any size would have had the moxy to mess with Patty. Yo hey Bieeeecthc you ain't real! 6 seconds later and Patty is furthering her education on the flow patterns of troll guts.

In order to save myself 5 bucks......here he is...
![]() ![]() And here's Patty, behind the same tree... ![]() Jim's slim build and posture allowed him to disappear behind that tree, but that's not the case with Patty. |

IIRC, Patterson and Gimlin went to Bluff Creek because some tracks had been reported there. Somehow, those tracks at Bluff Creek were "all but destroyed" and "just globs in the mud" after a month.
Incidentally, can it be shown how long Roger and BobG were in the area? It was either 3 weeks, or a little over a week, depending on which accounts you read. |
