Folks, one of our own seems to be in trouble. I don't know what radical group might be behind this as no one has claimed responsibility but its obvious that we need to come up with a special ops plan to bring those responsible to justice and return our friend unharmed. I took these photos on my last reconnaissance mission to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I discovered he and his companion (code name blue) were being held under the castle rock in St Ignace. I took a couple of long range photos to help plan our mission.

Definetly eco terrorist work. I see they have him hooded to stop future identification of the culprits and to keep him disoriented.

I've got the EST gear still and will put the call out for a few candidates to rally up.

Ay, were gonna need a bigger boat (flat bed truck!) (Jaws)

Be Careful the fence is probable juiced to keep tourist from taking souviniers.

It doesn't sound like to much of an unsurmountable problem to me.

What needs to be done is to find a big, pretty, blue cow with long eyelashs and a sexy walk. Put her out in the highway in front of Babe and he'll probably make a bee-line to the highway. The fence will plow the ground and clear the snow. Put a chain from Babe to the Rock and he'll pull it with him. If you point it toward the Mac, he can set it up for a tourist attraction where you could stand on it and see the Painted rocks.

st. Ignace will end up with a garden and a pond, the Mac will get another tourist trap, Babe will have a girl friend (I don't know what he'll do with her) and Paul will get out of lock-up to visit the casino and win enough money for a new axe and boots. He'll need them 'cause I hear rumors of planting Iowa in pines.

Holler "Blue!" real loud and you can get a lot of help from down around Detroit.

I am thinking that if anybody has a pretty cow, it would be Roxie. I think it's name is Huckleberry.

LedlieLogs · « **Reply #8 on:** December 07, 2006, 05:40:53 pm »

Ima thinkin that if Paul could just see he'd weild that mighty axe and free himself from them there pirates. The Georgia Gang will be right up to help as soon as that scary white stuff on the ground is gone. Ima shiveren just lookin at it.

Well, he don't either, and that's a problem that might spell doom for an otherwise brilliant plan. Babe is a ox, which means he ain't gonna have much use(or much anything else for that matter) for a cow. We gotta get creative here. Might have to call in the Costa Rican connection. I hear they have experience with bovines that are hemmed up where they don't belong.

Jeff · « **Reply #10 on:** December 07, 2006, 09:39:10 pm »

Yea, they let em eat their pineapple and crap in the pantry.

I never thought about it but Babe, being named Babe, may not have much interest in pretty cows. He (or she???) may have had to have some attention directing procedures that has him standing there without any blue... Ah, never mind. I was thinking we need someone experienced in debagging Paul so he can see to help since, well, it now seems Babe has already been debagged.

For heavens sake, you can see his head! Git yer minds right.

Just so Long as Charlie doesn't get in here and start sputtering about where Paul is really from thus diffusing our real mission.

By the way? Where the heck is Charlie?

Mooseherder · « **Reply #14 on:** December 07, 2006, 09:51:00 pm »

Them 2 Stop and One Way signs are causing interference with the rescue.
Someone needs to take the obstacles out first.

Call in Silo Busters.

Tom · « **Reply #15 on:** December 07, 2006, 10:02:34 pm »

Furby · « **Reply #20 on:** December 07, 2006, 11:08:23 pm »

Yes they did, but I was sweating a bit

Jeff · « **Reply #21 on:** December 07, 2006, 11:12:51 pm »

Is this the Ohio border that gave you the trouble? Lat thing you want to do is get into Ohio and not be able to get back out. YUCK!

Furby · « **Reply #22 on:** December 07, 2006, 11:14:13 pm »

Wrong direction.

Don_Papenburg · « **Reply #23 on:** December 08, 2006, 08:31:10 am »

You guy realise that you can break out paul but if you release that ox you will be messing with homeland security . Releasing livestock or messing with agriculture is call agroterrorism and a nasty prison sentence will be the result .

Furby · « **Reply #24 on:** December 08, 2006, 01:23:46 pm »

Well, to fill ya all in on the metal detector incident............
On our way home from Oklahoma last month, I talked Stump Jumper into stopping off at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
I had been there about a year before, but didn't get a chance to go into the visitors center then.
After walking around outside a bit and with a little prodding, Jeff and I headed inside.
For those of you that have never been there, the entrances are underground down a ramp under the arch.
About halfway down the ramp was a security gaurd. He stopped me and asked to see in my camera case as the camera was in my hand. No problem, let him look and started on down the ramp.
Made it about a dozen feet and I see the open door with the metal detector and several guards around it.
Was a bit worried as I had a real small pocket knife on me. Would have emptied my pockets at the truck, but I wasn't aware of the tight security, duh!

Well I went back to the first gaurd and showed him my knife and asked if it would be a problem. I'd rather run back to the truck now, then have problems at the metal detector.

The gaurd handed it back and said, "no problem".
Jeff didn't say anything so we walked throught the door.
Of course ya gotta empty out your pockets and such before heading throught the detector.
Everything else went throught the x-ray machine.
I passed through without any problems and was waiting for my stuff to come out of the machine when the alarm starts going off and Jeff is pulled aside.

He checked his pockets again and found some change . They told him to take it out.
He pointed out that I had past through with change in my pocket as the gaurd told me to hold onto it. Anyways he went back through.
Alarm again. $:-\$
Well they started to scan him with the handheld and kept getting several signals.
Finally they asked what kind of belt he had on.
His reply?

I'm not wearing one, I have suspenders on.

After a scan comfirming four metal objects and a quick feel to comfirm they were the clips for his suspenders, they allowed him in.
Whew!
I was getting a bit worried there for a minute, that I didn't have enough cash to bail him out and would have to call and explain it to Delcy.

I got the big search one time coming back from Toms at Jacksonville airport. They had be taking things off and all sorts of things. Turned out to be a penny in the very corner of my wallet and a penny in the watch pocket of my jeans.

Furby · « **Reply #26 on:** December 08, 2006, 02:25:50 pm »

I ALWAYS get hung up at metal detectors.
Couldn't belive I made it through without trouble this time.
I got stopped at the museum in GR when we went to see the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Ended up being a tiny padlock key in my pocket for my locker at work.
I usually have problems with the steel arch supports that come in the hiking boots I wear.
