Hey you guys. I just read on tweleve that SASSY made a big fuss at the Caterpillar tree sight and now the rangers have it roped off! READ BELOW
I'll try to post pictures soon. Here's the story...
Sassy came with her two kids from Indiana/Ohio and has been searching the tree at Lake Dardanelle for like 3 days. Now she's frustrated, so while I'm searching this morning, she's blabbing to the Park Rangers, explaining the hunt, the PRIZES, and their VALUES!!! They're smiling and seem REAL interested! She's also p/o'd at Stadther and is complaining he should be fined for littering. She also seemed to expect the Rangers to dig it out of the tree for her!
So, I take a breakfast break (I'd been there from 6 am to 8:45), and when I get back an hour later (9:45 am) the tree is ROPED OFF with a sawhorse saying "Area Closed".
OK, so MS, now the Caterpillar (if there) is INACCESSIBLE.
I looked up his phone number on Yahoo people search (Pound Ridge, NY) number (search "m stadther") and left a message on his voicemail.
I am royally peeved.
