OBSERVED:    Bay tree blossoms were eaten, and the prints led into the swamp which I followed as far as I could, as I was stepping into the prints.   They kept getting deeper and I went all the way to my hips stepping into them and crawling out to the next one.

A deputy told me about the prints and I took my friend with me as a witness, which after I cast the prints, I gave him one.

Subject: A Question about the tracks
 

Hello XXXXX,

I have a question about the tracks and I hope you don't mind answering it.  You say that you stepped into these prints and followed them for quite a ways.  I would like to know if you were able to step into them one foot after the other, just as this creature had done?  In other words, were the tracks close enough together for you to keep stepping into them without any lengthening of your stride?  Or possibly, did you have to take a couple steps between them?  I would love to know how you tackled this stride length?

Thanks much!
Mary Green

There is no way i could set the same stride . I had to step in its print and then step in between, the prints were between  5 and 5 1/2 ft apart.
