Maybe like the Yeti, Bigfoot needs to cross mountain passes from time to time into the next fertile valley?

 

More Himalayas pics.

Are you refering to Witold Glinski’s claim it was him that made the trek?

Rain fall is between 60 to 120 inches.

I recall reading the report or some of it, was interestin' if I recall. There's a movie about it called The Way Back, not sure if the yeti sighting is in it.

I was told it is not.

“Two points struck me immediately. They were enormous and they walked on their hind legs. The picture is clear in my mind, stuck there indelibly by a solid two hours of observation. We just could not believe what we saw at first, so we stayed to watch… I set myself to estimating their height on the basis of my military training for artillery observation. They could not have been much less than eight feet tall. One was a few inches taller than the other, in the relation of the average man to the average woman. They were shuffling quietly round on a flattish shelf

I thought Patty did? Krantz and Meldrum both proposed a different knee mechanism and walking style to explain the difference in locomotion. And I thought the single line track way was a product of it?

 

Himalayas

Also, look at the south side of the Himalayas versus the north side in the rain shadow. Very similar to what we see with the Cascades except East and West orientation.

 

 

Walk about 20 feet in a straight line and then watch this stabilized version (or any of them on YT)  of Patty walking.  I think you will agree with me afterwards.

Yep, can confirm it is not. They don't spend much time at all on their last part of the trek over the Himalayas.

I meant that I've done the fox walk many times before and it wasn't always one foot directly in front of the other. Maybe I was doing it wrong?!? Would explain why I never bagged a monster buck! :D

 

Nah, you weren't doing it wrong, NatFoot, because  I never bagged a monster buck either LOL. :D

There is that, although that has been refuted more or less. This story seems to cast doubt on it:

I have no idea if it is a true story or not, just wanted to point out some have "issues" with it. I have not read it but want to at some point. I became of aware of this book some time back and it has been on my list ever since.

I would think that once in India and in the care of the British army? Somesort of paper trail should show up.

 

I wouldn't trust Soviet documents as far as I could throw them.....

Ive got vertigo bud so Im gonna have to rain check any walking tests. I walk with the aid of a walking stick right now.

 

Check this vid out at about 4:20 or so. It shows I think Pattys trackway and its straight line characteristics.

Are you sure about that? Seems to me that Patterson Reel #2 showed the trackway in the riverbed, and it was a straight line pattern, just like the ones on the sides of the logging roads in the area that Green filmed and photographed earlier.

I’ve seen the movie. It was a good movie, but the yeti story was not in it.
