This is a video from back in early July that shows an estimated 15 inch track with a very distinctive big toe impression. The second toe from the big toe also looks somewhat distinctive (I think it's the second toe from the big one). They show the track real early (about the :15-:16 mark) so start at the beginning. At the :54 - :57 mark, and again at the 1:51 - 1:53 mark, you get a better look at the toe area since it shows it from closer up. According to what the wife said, this 15" track was one of five other tracks also made by whatever made the clearer one in the video. They show the others starting about the 1:10 mark. As the man mentions, they're hard to make out. It has to be a case of they show up in person but not as well on camera. At 4:46 - 5:06, he has his size 11 shoe next to it. He then shows the distance between the tracks, which he estimates as maybe 4.5ft. - 5ft. Is there a little bit of dirt pushed up by the right edge of the big toe?

I start with google earth, mangani's bigfoot overlay and a topographic overlay. I add in USFS wilderness maps for trails to-from specific locations. Then I search the old archives online for older versions of maps that have now-abandoned trails. These are usually USFS or USGS. If I need to worry about property boundaries, my county has tax lot mapping online. The maps I've found give a general idea but are not accurate enough or detailed enough ... gotta put boots on the ground. Three older trails I've been looking for are at least a quarter mile away from where they appear on the maps. In heavy forest that's out of sight from where they're "supposed" to be so .. not good enough. Of them, I've finally traced through one end to end, another I've found all but about a 200 yard section (guessing there's a switchback in a meadow that gets a lot of snow which has destroyed the trail), and one .. I've barely found anything, not a trail, just a sense of where one reasonably would have been. Two others I expect to be similar. One of those leads near a series of long, thin lakes, partly seasonal. I think they lie in a fault line because they seem to go on for miles with no deviation. I suspect that's going to be a "spot" at certain times of year. Water, cover, no humans. One is on his way soon though.

Been on hiking sick leave for about 3 weeks with covid, it wasn't too bad, didn't require a doctors visit, thank God for that, and hope to get back out there this weekend....wonder if the hairyman has missed me (or the apples), lol. Hope you guys are safe & well out there!
