In the beginning, Bigfoot researchers and the occasional tourist use to go to Willow Creek and have their pictures taken with Jim McClarin’s Oh-Mah (Bigfoot) redwood sculpture. For example, the images above are from 1975-1977, and demonstrate this tradition. In the mid-1980s, other spots tried to jump on the bandwagon with their own statues.

In more recent years, people have journeyed to another kind of Sasquatch Mecca ~ John Green ~ and requested their photo be taken with him.

Today, I share a tribute to John Green’s legacy and legendary status in Sasquatch studies, in images covering the last fifty years, up through a few weeks ago in 2009.
