It seems consistent with SOME Native American beliefs. I have no problem with that. However, it's not the whole answer. As much as folks .. maybe like you, or maybe not .. might wish, what I saw was real. Process this: delusions and illusions do not leave castable footprints nor produce recordable vocalizations. While there is no proof they are "bigfoot" since we lack proof of bigfoot, **something** made them and it is not any known animal. Something "unknown" **is** out there. That is fact. You, or others, may deny, but will be wrong if you do. MIB

There us no risk for Meldrum. He has been wrong on many occasions and it hasn't harmed his reputation in the footer community one bit.

Would peel any rind / skin of the fruit, at the same time. Since we're extrapolating with unbound imagination.

Many whites lived as members of a tribe, was a common thing since whites first came here. So your Grandfather might have been a bona fide tribal member, considered an Indian, but still white. Interesting story, When the the Lewis And Clark expedition first made contact with the Mandan tribe, they believed it was the first time white men had been in that area, the Mandan confirmed to them they were the first white men hey had met. Lewis and Clark were amazed that several members of the tribe looked white, they had red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes. It caused quite a stir in the scientific community when the expedition was over and their find announced. Many believed the Mandan were the remnants of one of the "Lost Tribes of Israel", or perhaps the Roanoak colony. It turned out, French trappers had been living with the Mandan for at least 50 years before Lewis and Clark came along. That area was their best fur trapping ground and they had not told anyone back east about it. It was their children Lewis and Clark had seen. Meh, I'm over half Choctaw and it never helped me see one. Anyone born here in Native American, I prefer American Indian.

^^^ I'd eat most of that list before eating a pumpkin as well, unless we are talking pumpkin pie, but that is barely if at all really even pumpkin now days.

Hi Daveedo: Sorry I haven't logged on for a while. If you study the topic, and spend many nights up in the hills feeling what goes on, when one comes around, I doubt if you will be terribly frightened. Probably you will just be interested in what is happening. The cravat is that you must study the phenomena; and, camp out a lot. Do what you can, and you will be amazed. Raccoon's aren't at Kate Kamp; no water near; no opossums up there. Bears are, and we have seen some big ones, especially a large boar this fall running from us. Bears up here are frightful of hunters. Just for your information, I took an editor {not a reporter} up there after the Turner Broadcasting crew. He was from the leading German newspaper. He was quite amazed at what he saw, even given his experience in the Alps and other mountains. We talked for a long time about what to do. He, and some of his comrades, may be back next fall before rifle season. Regards, Joe. Ps: If you get out this way, give me a post. If it all works OK, will take you up the hill for time available.

The rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature are the arbiter of the proposed name. It does not meet the criteria. In other words, the ICZN does not recognize footprints (work) of any extant creature as a basis for zoological naming.

That is exactly correct. Some people have this romantic notion that Indians were always here in America. Their lineage and DNA has never known another soil. I'm native American even though there isn't a drop of Indian blood in me. It reminds me of The Honeymooners. Ralph: “What do you know about golf?” Ed: “I’ve been working in the sewer for ten years. If that don’t qualify me as an expert on holes, I give up.”
