For today, let’s look at the pivotal date of August 3rd. The October 1958 tracks of the Bluff Creek’s Bigfoot became famous because Jerry Crew took a cast of one of them into Eureka to show the newspaper. But the 1958 Bigfoot events began in August. Crew was a new hire that spring with the construction company. The men were getting serious about taking down trees and creating the new [...]
