I am starting the early process of researching the best option for a pop-up camper. I read the FAQ which leads me to think I would be best suited for a pop-up camper. I'm leaning towards a Four Wheel Camper (Hawk or maybe Grandby). I don't have a truck yet, so I would buy to suit the camper.
I mainly want a pop-up as I'll be doing some offroading and will need to drive on forest service and BLM roads. I'd be open to any and all suggestions.
I'm looking for a built-out slide-in with fridge, sink, stove, furnace, etc. I'm very interested in a quality build that will outlast my desire to camp. I want minimal issues. For example, I was looking at Scout, but people seem to have mixed experiences. Alaskan also seems like a good brand. I've considered all options including a van and a travel trailer, but I feel a truck camper would best meet my needs.
I appreciate any and all advice. It's kind of hard to find a good resource on how to get started. Planning on renting several times to get a sense of what we need and will use.

This is the second half of my list for Oklahoma's execution roster. As mentioned in the first part, I broke it in half to comply with reddit's character limitations. For the link to part 1, please click here.

A massive amount of circumstantial evidence, such as wearing shoes that resembled the bloodstained footprints next to Dodd's body, a microscopic drop of blood found on his shoes that was tentatively linked to Dodd, his wife's testimony of his unaccounted absence from their home during the murder, and what appeared to be Dodd writing Miller's alias that he knew him by in his own blood, convicted him.

I know this is most likely really unrealistic, but I’ll give it a try.
I’m going to look at a 1989 Westwind WT 175 Camper, and would have loved to find a original floorplan or any other Documents from it.
Google doesn’t come up with this specific model, and it looks like the company whent bankrupt in 2010, so no website to be found.
Any ideas for where to look? Does anybody by chance own one of those?

The 6th National guard battalion fights to the death to defend the towns civilians the police and swat teams join in the defense. 700 national guard and police officers are killed along with 230 civilians. 2 boss monsters and 12 axis models are killed. This event goes down in history as 9/11 and marks the beginning of the human monster war.
   
3. October: State of emergency is declared in the Unified states. The north Latin empire builds the wall of fire to defend itself from a possible invasion by the boss monsters. The Alaskan empire sends aid in the form of military equipment to the unified states. The French empire sends 12,000 men from the French foreign legion to help their old ally the unified states. The iron ring sees repairs and its forts are turned into military bases.

Thousands boss monster, royal guard, and Axis models are wiped off the face of the earth. Chujin in retaliation begins work on a series of portals that lead to other human nations so the invasion can expand.
   

Rest of 1985: Due to the use of the nukes the monsters advance is stalled for the rest of the year though a small offensive is launched against the wall of fire to attempt to breach it. The North Latin empire troops fight like animals and with such determination 50 boss monsters are killed along with hundreds of axis models at the cost of 6,000 of their own.
1986: The Kingdom of saint Maria declares war on the monster and joins in an alliance with the Unified states in fear that they will be next. The united Northwest Territories follow in suit.

2. April 25th- June 15th: Thousands of boss monsters and millions of axis models swarm through the portal and attack the city though they meet heavy resistance from police, national guard, and army unites stationed in the city. Reinforcements are flooded into the city to stop it from falling into monster hands though after brutal urban warfare and the destruction of most of the city the city falls. Regan leaves office and is replaced by Jimmy carter after a close election. Jimmy carters first action is to end the cold war so he can focus the army's main attention to the threat of the monsters. In an unpopular but much needed move he allies with the Socialist republic of Siberia in hopes of gaining more manpower to replace the millions that have already died.
   

1988: The news about the monster's use of portals has spread around the globe and hundreds of nations have declared a lockdown, martial law, and mobilization in fear that they will be invaded through the portals. The United Nations is founded as an attempt to rally as many nations as possible in a total war against the monsters. The wall of fire comes under attack again but holds. Chujin attempts to develop a portal so asgors armies can get around the wall of fire and crush the north Latin empire.

1. March 11th: The portal is developed, and monsters go around the wall of fire by using the portal similar to how the Germans used Belgium and the Ardenee to bypass the Maginot line. The wall of fire is attacked from behind and it is overwhelmed in a month. The north Latin generals begin to muster troops in preparations for the defense of the mainland and a possible withdrawal to the Yucatan peninsula or deeper into central America if the heartland falls.
   
2. February: The North Latin empire uses the few nuclear warheads it has to attempt to stop the monsters advance towards the capital. This briefly stops the monster's advance and Chujin losses thousands of axis models much to his annoyance.
   
3. May 1st: A portal to Europe and a portal to Asia are created. The European portal leads to Paris the capital of the French empire and the Asian Portal leads to Poyang the capital of north Korea. The next day millions of axis models and hundreds of boss monsters swarm out of the portals beginning the second stage of WWM and the end of part one of the timeline.
   

Authors Note: I'll be covering several of the battles I mentioned in this timeline in several videos ill post to the subreddit. I'll be working on a map of north America and Europe so you guys can get a better picture on the territorial extent of each nation.

TARA CALİCO
Tara Calico, a 19-year-old young woman living in New Mexico, went missing on September 20, 1988, after leaving her home to go for a bike ride. Her mother found Tara's broken Walkman along the route she took for biking and immediately notified the police. Despite extensive search efforts, Tara was never found. On June 15, 1989, photos of an unidentified young woman and child were discovered in a grocery store parking lot. Both individuals had their hands tied behind their backs and their mouths taped shut in the photos, which were taken inside a van or a camper. When the photos were aired on a national news program, Tara's family believed she was the woman in the picture. The young boy in the photo was identified as 9-year-old Michael Henley, whose body was found 7 kilometers away from where he was abducted. Despite the efforts of Tara's family and hired detectives, she was never located.

Background on the UAP hotspot

I had never heard of this, and searches on /UFOs show up virtually nothing of note. The internet is thin on information beyond generic Local News type "UFOs in Missouri!" type stuff. It is alternately variations on Marley Wood, Marley Woods, Marleys, and similar. It's not a name on a map or official, that's a nickname for some forested rural area somewhere around the Piedmont, Missouri area. Apparently the locals are very protective of it, and it is apparently a decades long ongoing UFO/UAP hotspot of even government interest, on the record.

Skinwalker Ranch and the UAPDA are related

But... in the past few weeks I remembered that place, Marley Wood, was highlighted by some government disclosure in an obscure passage as a place of continued interest and focus because of legitimately anomalous ongoing events, along with what sounded like Skinwalker Ranch. This was the first time I think we've seen officially government documentation highlight a given place as legitimately of value to the topic for their purposes.
I got to thinking about how Brandon Fugal, who bought Skinwalker Ranch from Robert Bigelowe, who was responsible for NIDs and KONA BLUE... worked reportedly with Travis Taylor to kill off the UAPDA. Whatever your thoughts on Skinwalker stuff, why exactly would an already extremely rich Utah real estate developer with a supposed "bullshit" paranormal ranch and TV show... fight like hell to keep the UAPDA from passing? And specifically, he called out the eminent domain portion, implying things of his would be taken, and would be wrong for that to happen.
Brandon Fugal has no aerospace, military, or IC role that we know of. What, exactly, would UAPDA passing lead to him having to worry about eminent domain?

Skinwalker and UAPDA rough tlimeline

Well, that document that mentioned an eponymous Utah ranch of some sort and "Marleys" (sic) Woods in Missouri were called out as of interest.

• Bigelow buys the ranch
• NIDs, Kona Blue, etc.
• Bigelow withdraws after not succeeding with Harry Reid in getting UFO-stuff access
• The ranch passes to Brandon Fugal, a real estate developer
• TV show, all that. "Skinwalker Ranch" has UAP stuff, is claimed.
• Lue, Grusch, leaks, 2022 and 2023 Congressional hearings, and finally the UAPDA.
• The UAPDA dies "for the most part", but especially anything to do with materials, and eminent domain.
• It is learned Fugal had a role in this and specifically about eminent domain.
• Unless he has a UFO hidden under a Salt Lake City building, Skinwalker is the only logical UAPDA eminent domain target to concern Fugal.
• But Skinwalker is just nonsense... except the document seems to call that location out, all the way to Bigelowes ownership.

Was the government looking into eminent domain against Brandon Fugal and Skinwalker Ranch?
I believe that is the first loosely closed loop of evidence we have in public?

Marley Woods

Good solid high level blog on this:

The Marley Woods is the name given to an undisclosed location in South Central Missouri by ufologist and scientific researcher Ted Phillips and members of his team. The residents don’t want to be disturbed by hordes of people, so they would only agree to having the site investigated if the location was kept secret. The site, which includes many farms and hundreds of acres of property, is a hot spot for paranormal activity with UFO sightings, crop circles, unseen forces that push people, hauntings, and even bigfoot sightings. It was given the name Marley Woods by Ted, but you won’t find it on a map.
One of the most misunderstood phenomena in this area are the strange balls of lights- or spook lights that appear after dusk. The lights have been reported by residents for many generations. In 1989 children playing on a trampoline were startled when they saw a glowing white ball of light that hovered in a nearby tree. The tree died within two weeks.
A man and wife who live in the area saw two balls of light approximately the size of basketballs on a fast collision course. The man threw himself and his wife to the ground, believing that there would be some type of explosion, but nothing occurred, and the lights simply dissipated after crashing into each other.
Ted and his team have witnessed strange unexplained lights dozens of times during night investigations. No source can ever be found for the phenomena and they ruled out car lights, helicopters, swamp gas, and flashlights. The lights continue to spook people to this day.
The Piedmont Lights have been seen in the area since the 1870s. Marilyn Jackson was age 93 at the time I interviewed her in 1996. She was fully cognizant and said that when she was a young child baseball sized white lights would come out of the woods at night, and she and her cousins would actually play with them. The children held out their hands and the lights would come forward and land on their palms. The kids then tossed the lights back into the woods, and they would return to the children. Marilyn said that she would often play with the lights for hours on end. The entire family, including her mother and grandmother said they played with the lights as children as well. The family associated the lights with UFO’s which sometimes appeared over their property.

Spacetime forum and photo:
At Approximately 8:45 p.m. on Saturday May 3rd, SIU Investigator, Adam Johnson, accompanied by filmmakers/brothers Josh and Ron Johnson, and four residents of the “Marley Woods,” were able to witness a brilliant display of ‘Amber lights’. A total of 7-8 silent ‘Amber lights’ were witnessed. It began with one light appearing then suddenly blinking out after about 2-3 seconds. Next, another ‘Amber light’ appeared (approximately 500 feet east from the first object); it lasted a few seconds and was followed instantly by a light extremely close to the west and yet again by another light parallel to its position and within very close proximity (reminiscent of the ‘Phoenix Lights’.) After that, a light came on directly southwest of the other two lights position. They all lasted a few seconds and then disappeared. Approximately 5 minutes later, two more objects appeared subsequently after each other and lasted no longer than 10 seconds each.

On May 5, 2008 just two nights after SIU team members observed and imaged several large bright amber objects the following events took place.

MUFON Report

Piedmont Missouri Case - 1973
Starting in February 1973 police in Piedmont, Mo., received over 500 reports of UFO sightings in this rural area.
"YOU WON'T believe this," Reggie Bone told a FATE reporter, "but I don't think there's anyone around here who hasn't seen one."
Bone should know because his sighting on the night of February 21, 1973, precipitated the great Brushy Creek UFO scare and brought flying saucers back into the headlines four years after the Condon Committee declared them a dead issue. In sheer quantity of reports the Missouri flap parallels the famous waves of the mid-1960's. UFOS, whatever they are, probably are going to be as significant a part of the '70's.
The Incident (as reported)
Southeastern Missouri seems an unlikely place for something so out of the ordinary. In a heavily-forested section of Wayne County between two giant man-made lakes in the eastern Ozarks, Clearwater and Wappapello, the Brushy Creek area encompasses Piedmont (population 1500) to the north and Mill Spring (population 225) to the south. The region is rich in both natural beauty and lead deposits but is not known for much else. Certainly its friendly but skeptical inhabitants were unprepared for a UFO invasion or the international attention following in its wake.
High school basketball coach Bone was no believer in UFOs -- at least not before the night of February 21 when with two team managers and three of his players he was returning home along U.S. Highway 60 near Ellsinore, Mo., about 20 miles south of Piedmont. They were in poor spirits after losing a crucial tournament game by seven points and were rehashing their defeat. Suddenly Bone, who was driving, noticed a "bright shaft of light beaming down out of the sky."
A few miles later as the car passed through the Brushy Creek area, player Randal Holmes noticed something else. "Look!" he shouted. "There's that thing we saw back on Highway 60!" Bone pulled over to the side of the road and the six piled out.
It looked like it was about 200 yards off the road hovering over an open field," Bone said later. (Investigators from the International UFO Bureau (IUFOB) of Oklahoma City later estimated the object probably was about 400 feet above the ground.) "It was impossible to determine the size or shape because of the darkness. Anyway, we saw four lights that looked like portholes: red, green, amber and white. We figured they were about three or four feet apart, all in a row."
"We just stood there and watched it for about 10 minutes," Cary Barks, another witness, added. "Then all of a sudden the lights went directly up in the air with absolutely no noise and just disappeared over a hill.
Half an hour later Mrs. Edith Boatwright of nearby Mill Spring saw the same or a similar object flying low near her farmhouse. "It was about 10:00 P.M.," she told FATE. "I was lying on my bed -- I wasn't asleep -- when I saw a flashing light. We live close by the highway so I thought something had happened on the road. I got out of bed quickly and looked over the lower part of the curtain and I could see very plainly a craft just clearing the utility wires. It was in a horizontal position. I think there were people in it. I could see objects inside but could not make out any form of a person. It made a very quiet noise like a whoosh slowly and evenly. When it changed into a vertical position, it made a louder noise, like a quiet motor pulling.
"It didn't have any chopper blades on top like a helicopter, just some rotary-like blades in front where an umbrella-like part extended up. It was about 30 or more feet long -- very beautiful light-colored body with a darker tail. There were no lights on in our house at the time. I watched it for about one or two minutes. It was about 200 or 250 yards from my window, flying below the oak treetops."
At first Mrs. Boatwright thought the object was "some kind of new nuclear-powered helicopter" but changed her mind in the next few days when she heard about the flood of UFO sightings. It is worth noting, however, that the "whooshing" sound Mrs. Boatwright reported was not heard by other southeastern Missouri UFO witnesses. Conceivably helicopter blades could have made that sound and IUFOB's Daniel Garcia who interviewed the witness believes it is at least possible that the object was a military aircraft dispatched to the area to look for Bone's UFO. Arguing against this idea is the fact that the craft as described by Mrs. Boatwright did not look like a helicopter.
Whatever the case, in the next two months the Boatwrights' farm was to play host to other UFOs including one that apparently landed on a hill behind the house. "We didn't try to go near it as we had company coming at the time," Mrs. Boatwright explains.
On February 22, the night after the original Bone-Boatwright sightings. Roy and Beth Burch and Mrs. Kathy Keith, driving in the Brushy Creek area, spotted an object "blinking green, white, amber and red." Burch tried to chase the UFO along the highway.
"Roy started speeding up to get a close look at it," Mrs. Keith said. "He was doing about 70 miles an hour but we still lost it. We got to the Creek area and there were some other Piedmont people standing on the road looking at it."
One of them, Bob Smith, had binoculars focused on the UFO but he could not make out any shape. The lights were visible for 10 minutes longer and then sank over a hill.
Four nights later, on the 26th, Pat Toney and Will Freeman watched a luminous object moving over the trees near the Tip Top Mountains. The UFO about 500 yards away "was solid with prongs on it," Miss Toney informed the IUFOB. "A red light was on it."
By far the great majority of sightings in the Piedmont-Brushy Creek-Mill Spring area were the kind UFOlogists call "nocturnal lights" -- brilliant flashing lights far enough away that witnesses cannot discern their source.
From February 21 into late April sightings occurred almost nightly. The Piedmont police received over 500 reports and IUFOB director Hayden Hewes told FATE he and his associates, who conducted a detailed investigation, interviewed 200 witnesses. Most of the sightings were fairly routine as UFO reports go and not very revealing. We will concentrate on the more unusual sightings.
Most residents saw the UFOs more than once. Even so, Earl Turnbough's experience was unique for he had three unusually vivid sightings of more than just lights. His first encounter took place around 9:00 P.M. about the first of March. Turnbough had just passed over a hill on Highway 49 when he spotted something "lit up like a circus" hovering over the road in front of him. The lights went out within seconds and presumably the object escaped in the darkness.
Two weeks later on March 14 as Turnbough drove through the same area in a thunderstorm he saw an amber light hovering 30 feet above a field less than 200 yards from him.
"I slowed down and watched for five or 10 minutes," Turnbough said. "When the lightning flashed I could see a dome-shape with sort of an antenna at the top. This amber light was shining from the antenna. All the other lights were off. I would say the thing was between 15 and 20 feet in diameter. It wasn't making any noise at all."
He saw a UFO for the third time a week later. "I was feeding cattle at the farm just about dark and I saw this thing come down over Brushy Creek," he explained. "It was about a thousand feet in the air and shaped like a top. I couldn't tell if it was rotating or if the lights were just flashing. The lights were yellow, green and red. They could've been portholes for all I know. The object sailed over the farm and didn't make a sound."
March 14, the same night as Turnbough's second sighting, Mrs. Maude Jefferis, a photography teacher at Piedmont's Clearwater High School, took a series of pictures of "a small reddish ball" high in the air. She spotted the object around 11 o'clock and mounting a Crown Graphic 4x5 camera on a tripod, she took a 10-minute time exposure which unfortunately shows little more than a dot in the night sky.
"As a professional photographer," she said, "I cannot explain the object. It is not a lens flare or light reflection."
Mrs. Jefferis is referring to a theory proposed by Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern University, former U. S. Air Force UFO consultant, who arrived in Piedmont on March 31, talked briefly with eight persons and left 24 hours later. Hynek's suggested explanation also has been disputed by photographic experts at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, who say that a lens flare would be widespread over the entire negative rather than a small speck. They further point out that the lens in Mrs. Jefferis' camera is coated to prevent flares.
That same evening Carl Laxton saw an object shaped, he told IUFOB, "like a barrel with protrusions like arms sticking out of it . . .
"The only way I could see the shape of this thing was when the object seemed to tilt; a brilliant white light appeared to go behind it. The object was tilting from a vertical to a horizontal position and then back to a vertical position again. Then it moved straight up and disappeared into the night sky."
Seven days later, on March 21, Mrs. Jean Coleman and Mrs. Cathy Leach were crossing the Clearwater Dam about 9:00 P.M. when they saw an object rise out of the lake. Theirs is one of the most spectacular sightings reported.
They were first alerted by a "red flash" on the lake. Stopping their car, they got out to see blinking lights ascending. Each time a red light flashed, the object got brighter.
"We could see it climbing," Mrs. Coleman said. "It looked like the lights were red, white and yellow. There was no sound. We tried to make out the shape but each time the lights went out we could see nothing . . . We watched it for four or live minutes until it circled out of sight."
Ken Johnson, owner of the Piedmont Boat Dock, confirmed the women's story. Shortly be- fore they saw the UFO leaving the water, unnamed campers told Johnson they had seen a "bright light moving right under the surface of the lake." These latter "aimed a flashlight beam at the traveling light and it went out immediately."
Later in March two divers from the East Side Divers Supply Company of Granite City, Ill., made three attempts to explore the lake for evidence of the underwater UFO. Unfortunately, unusually heavy spring rainfall (seven inches in March) had raised the water level 30 feet above normal. The lake was extremely murky and the divers found nothing in its depths.
Grand Tower, Ill., on the Illinois-Missouri border, is almost 60 miles northeast of Piedmont but the UFO Oscar Wills sighted the evening of March 22 sounds very much like those from Brushy Creek.
Wills, an operating engineer at the Central Illinois Public Service Company's power generating station on the Mississippi one and a half miles from Grand Tower, first saw the object when fellow-employee, Willis Hughes called from his home to say something was hovering over the transformer yard.
"I went out by myself to take a look," Wills recounted in an interview with FATE, "and there it was, hovering about 1500 feet in the air and about 200 yards from me.
"It was a round saucer-shaped object about 25 to 30 feet in diameter. It looked like a high-intensity red light with a lot of lights coming out of what seemed to be portholes. The lights were flashing and causing a spinning effect. I couldn't see any image of its bottom, which may have been concave, I'm not sure. I kept walking and got to within 100 yards of it. I looked at it for two or three minutes until it darted behind the power plant almost like a blur. I went north of the power plant to see where it had gone and found it hovering over a water intake pump on the other side of the station. I stood there for a couple of minutes and watched it."
Wills' vigil was interrupted by a phone call from another employee (not Hughes) who wanted to know what was going on. By the time Wills got off the phone and enlisted two other men to go outside with him the UFO was gone.
Wills then called Hughes who informed him the object had flown across the river and disappeared into the Missouri hills. Within minutes, however, Wills and his crew saw four jet planes making passes over the plant area as if searching.
"The most amazing part," Wills says, " is the way this object moved rapidly with no effort and perfectly silently. I just can't get over that. I don't know what it was but I know this much: we don't have anything like this. "
Wills claimed that a nearly identical object appeared over Grand Tower nearly a month later, on the evening of April 16.
On the night of Wills' first encounter, March 22, back in Piedmont newsman Dennis Kenney of local radio station KPWB saw "a big orange light, glowing from white to orange. it appeared to just go out and then would come back on." Gary Sutton, who was with him, snapped eight pictures of it with a 35mm Petri camera loaded with black-and-white infrared film. These photographs show a ball-shaped object with a bright glowing band across its midsection. This sighting took place at 7:30 P.M.
Three hours earlier, at 4:30, a UFO had made a rare daytime appearance. Joe King of Mill Spring and Ron Miller of Piedmont, both students at Southeast Missouri State University (Cape Girardeau), were traveling along Highway 34 near Patterson (eight miles east of Piedmont) when they noticed an oval-shaped object above the nearby treetops. The UFO, "metallic" in appearance, flat on the bottom with a dome on the top, was moving rapidly and leaving no vapor trail.
The following evening, Friday, March 23, Leonard Adams and his 13-year-old daughter Alma of Piedmont encountered a "high-intensity, bright white light" at 7:10.
"It blinked on and off," Alma recounted, "and every time it blinked it shot up 10 feet. When it got about 300 to 500 feet in the air red and green lights came on and then the object flew horizontally.
"Actually the red and green lights were very dull in comparison with the white light, which was so intense that our eyes couldn't adjust to it. The light was almost blinding. The farther away the object got, the better you could see the other lights."
The UFO passed over radio station KPWB, which was not on the air at the time. The next morning the station was unable to sign on because one of its transformers had blown out. Hayden Hewes of IUFOB believes the Adamses' UFO may. have had something to do with the malfunction but the station's news director Dennis Hovis, who has conducted his own exhaustive probe into the Brushy Creek flap, disagrees. "It could have been from any number of causes," he says.
FATE could not confirm any reports of so-called electromagnetic effects but Hovis assured us that some local residents told him of radio and television interference when a UFO was close by. "These people say that when the TV starts rolling and reception gets bad, they can go outside and see a flying object," Hovis says, adding that some witnesses have heard sounds from the objects -- "a sort of high-speed drilling sound."
Among other reports Hovis has collected is one from a Patterson farm family who heard a high-pitched drilling sound which began around 10 o'clock in the evening all during April. Sometimes it was so loud it shook their house. Too frightened to go outside, they had not, at the time of this writing, discovered its cause. Hovis refuses to release their names to us, explaining that the family in question gave the story to him in confidence.
The single most important UFO sighting occurred on April 3 in the daylight. It involved a landing of sorts and provided some physical evidence.
Mrs. Raymond Stucker of Ellsinore traveling down Highway 60 at about noon "saw this thing in the air off to the side of the road," she told IUFOB investigators. ". . . It looked like something I never saw before. It was round, with the exception of a dome on top . . . three . . . one on top of the other. (*Hewes explains that this means the object had three Pyramiding domes on top, each one smaller than the one below It.) It appeared to have a dull band or something going around the center. The bottom had something like a tripod landing gear.
"The object was hovering just above treetop level off to the right of the road . . . There is a possibility that it came up from the ground and stopped right above the trees."
She said the UFO was silent and appeared to be made of aluminum.
Two days later Mrs. Stucker led IUFOB officials to the area where they found trees in a 35- foot circle turned counter-clockwise with some of their tips broken off. Geiger counters failed to pick up any unusual radiation but they found a mysterious "ash" near the tops of the trees although there was no evidence the trees had burned.
On Friday, April 13, newsman Hovis and a physicist from Southeast Missouri State University (who has asked not to be identified) made four sightings in the space of three and a half hours. The skeptical scientist had come from Cape Girardeau to see the UFOs for himself and he was not disappointed.
Hovis and the physicist had set up a telescope with a degree-finder on the side in an area near Black River seven miles south-east of Piedmont. At 7:18 P.M. the men saw what Hovis calls "a light -- no visible body or object attached to it -- white in color with some yellow." It was moving from north to south at a 10-degree angle off the horizon. The unnamed physicist speculated it might be a satellite.
At 7:28 a similar light appeared, moving in the same direction, five degrees off the horizon.
This time the scientist suggested that the booster had followed the satellite into orbit.
But by 9:30 when the third object cruised across the sky the man's faith in satellites was shaken. This object was traveling south to north, 10 degrees off the horizon and for a brief period it flew toward the witnesses before resuming its northbound course. A fourth UFO, heading from north to south at 10 degrees off the horizon, passed by at 10:45, leaving behind a deeply perplexed scientist.
While no one has reported seeing UFO occupants Reggie Bone does have a strange story to relate of something he, his wife and two other couples saw around Christmastime in 1971 when they were driving down a little-traveled road in a deserted section of the Brushy Creek area. The time was about 2:00 A.M. "Suddenly," Bone says, "we saw this fellow walking up the road toward us in a frogman's outfit. He was wearing flippers or something resembling them on his feet and he was carrying something in his hands.
"We couldn't see very well -- visibility was poor -- so we couldn't see his face but his body was completely covered. The suit didn't look wet. Black River is about a quarter-mile away from the road but it's rather inaccessible from the point where we ran into this figure.
"The temperature was well below freezing and I don't know of anyone who lives in that area. We were so taken aback that nobody even said anything for several miles. Finally somebody asked, 'Did you see that?'"
Bone, with Hovis, has carefully studied the local UFO situation and does not necessarily connect the figure with the mysterious aerial phenomena but he does admit that the recent sightings recalled the earlier incident to his mind. He says he and Hovis found that UFOs have been seen regularly in the more remote sections of Brushy Creek since 1967.
To the UFOlogist, Bone's 1971 encounter is reminiscent of numerous landing reports that include beings dressed in what witnesses almost invariably describe as "diving suits." A more mundane explanation for this incident may exist but the story deserves being recorded here for whatever it may be worth. Dennis Hovis offers the only possible commentary on Brushy Creek's flying saucer onslaught: "I don't know what we're seeing but I do know we're seeing something. It's not swamp gas and it's not satellites either. On the other hand, I can't say they're aliens -- I'm just a newsman, not a scientist.
"All I'll say is this, this is some kind of aerial phenomenon. It's simply unexplainable. From the reading I've done lately, I guess that these things always have been around and no one anywhere has ever been able to explain them."

Missing conversation

I cannot find the conversation now on /UFOs where I saw the mention of the ranch and Marleys Woods. I would appreciate that if you know, you can link it, so that I can update this post.
The gist of the discussion was people going through a very recent documents release, and someone very particularly noted the intersection of these places. I thought I had commented there, but apparently not.

Name	Relation	Details	Relationship
Unknown	Mother	. . .	. . .
Unknown	Father	. . .	. . .
Thekla Arason	Grandmother	Age: 63 … Occupation: Co-owns her husband’s fish market. Immigrated to the US from Iceland.	The twins have always been incredibly close with their grandparents— afterall, they were the only family figures the two ever had in their lives– but, they were particularly close with their grandmother, Thekla. An immigrant from Iceland, Thekla had it rough since she and her husband, the twin’s grandparents, Johannn, moved to America. In hopes of supporting their future family, which they had always dreamed of, they opened up their own fish-market. For as long as they can remember, the girls have always, in some way, shape, or form, helped out with their grandparents buisness. Be it with going out their grandfather on his big boat, learning the ins-and-out of properly catching fish— or helping Thekla with customer service, they were always around the shop. Despite this, their grandmother was demanding, nor bossy and overbearing. Instead, she was kind and warm and forgiving. Whenever the twins would make a mistake, no matter how big and bad it was, she would always find a way to forgive and to forget. After all, to her, family was the most important thing, and she raised the twins with this mindset as well, helping them to become the close sisters they are today.
Jóhann Arason	Grandfather	Age: 64 … Occupation: Runs and works at his own fish market. Immigrated to the US from Iceland.	Everything his wife, Thekla was, Johann was not. Perhaps it was due to his loss, or rather absence, disappearance, or whatever it was that happened to his child— but the twin’s grandfather has always been an overprotective fellow. From an early age with the twins, he was overbearing and domineering of Charlie and Charlise. Strict curfew and household rules to name a few, nevermind the fact that they always had to be working in the stinky, smelly fish shop so they would never be out of their grand-father’s sight– just to name a few of his overprotective acts. And, to top it all off, he was incredibly harsh and seemingly cruel. Sometimes he showed no warmth at all, and the twins were left to wonder if he even cared for them. Thekla, who had put up with the stubborn man for ages, never let them believe that for too long. Infact, despite all of his strictness, cruelness, and coldness, Johann truly loved his grandaughters with a passion. She explained that, even though she scarecly brought up the twin’s parents, their grandfather truly was just simply afraid of losing another one of his “children.”
Orion Hughes	Rescuer; acquaintance	Age: 14 … Occupation: N/A—Demigod, currently resides at Camp Half-Blood.	One of the two demigods that helped rescue Charlie and Charlise from Maine, after the two got attacked by wolves, and safely bringing them back to Camp Half-Blood.
Bailey Rennes	Rescuer; acquaintance	Age: 16 … Occupation: N/A— Demigod, currently resides at Camp Half-Blood.	One of the two demigods that helped rescue Charlie and Charlise from Maine, after the two got attacked by wolves, and safely bringing them back to Camp Half-Blood.

​

• Charlise:

1. Cone Shell - On Charlise’s sixth birthday, her grandmother gifted her a large-sized; white-and-pink cone shell. She told her that, whenever she would feel lonely or homesick in the future, she could put her ear against it, pause, and hear the sound of the ocean. . . The sound of home. https://i.imgur.com/sYLGOx0.jpg
2. Ballerina equipment - For a brief period of time when the twins were younger, they enjoyed ballet together. Although Charlie was quite clumsy on her feet at first, Charlise quickly grasped the hang of it, and before she knew it, was able to dance as easily as if it were her second language. Charlie quickly dropped the “sport,” in search for other hobbies, although Charlise continued to dance her little heart out. It wasn’t until she grew older that money grew tighter, and her grandparents could no longer support her ballet classes, and with that came the loss of her hobby completely. Despite this, she likes to practice in her free time. https://i.imgur.com/Uv66qTL.jpg … (Charlise’s ballerina shoes)
3. Small Paintbook - Charlise owns a small paintbook that she carries around in a large tote bag, and whenever she has the free time to unwind, typically outside, she’ll use her watercolors to paint the scenery surrounding her. She particularly enjoys painting things or people she likes— she has dozens of canvases with paintings of Charlie, the ocean, and her grandparents on them.
4. Sea Glass Necklace - A shiny, dark blue color that resembles her eyes; Charlise owns a silver, sea-glass necklace that she’s had ever since she was a young child. Whenever she feels anxious or nervous, she’ll tap at it with her finger, the rhythmic noise helping to calm her down. https://i.imgur.com/ccHKmxJ.jpeg

Backstory…

(To be updated as their story progresses.)
The twin’s, Charlie and Charlise, have always lived a seemingly normal life.It was always the same, mundane yet happy and simple routine since they were young. School, where even though it was hard to learn due to the learning difficulties they had, they enjoyed their time making friends and getting to study all these different things in life. And, when at home, they got to help out with the family’s business, getting to master many skills that would someday help them when they would take over their grandparents business. That was the plan, afterall.Despite not ever hearing much of their parents, they never thought things would reach to the extent that it did one fateful afternoon. After years of asking and wondering what happened to their parents– who their parents even were, why they were never around and why their grandparents couldn’t just tell them— everything came to a halt when the twins were returning home from school. It was normal. Like every other day. They would walk home, with one another, as always, talking about what they did that day, what they would do the next, rinse and repeat.But life had other plans in store. At first, it was the ignorable yet unshakeable feeling that there were eyes watching them. Then, it was when they were all alone, an orange color dimming the sky as the beautiful afternoon set a chilling breeze flying through the air— that they heard it. The growl, like a wolf, but when they saw it was seemingly ten times bigger. They ran and ran, both afraid and terrified of what would happen if the creature just so happened to catch up with them, until they felt like they were safe, and that they couldn’t run anymore.Yet they knew that false sense of hope wouldn’t last forever. After running inro their rescuers, Orion Hughes and Bailey Rennes, sent out by Camp Half Blood personally, they were met with the confrontation of a lifetime. Battling wolves was something that seemed straight out of a night-marish fairytale book in the past, but quickly became something they would have to live with for the rest of their lives. Especially the guilt, horror, and terror that came with it.

Now…

After running away from a blood-thirsty pack of werewolves, becoming arsonists, as well as runaways, and a taxing car crash— Charlie and Charlise Arason have made Camp Half Blood almost fully intact.They had been unlucky in the sense that the twins spent what felt like days being hunted and tracked by werewolves. But, they had been lucky enough to be found by Orion Hughes and Bailey Rennes, the self proclaimed “Demi-Gods” who killed the pack leader and scared off the other werewolves— and brought the sisters to safety in the valley and rolling hills of Camp Half Blood.They were placed into the Hermes cabin, being told that they would be claimed soon, but fornow, cabin eleven would welcome the twins. The girls had spent the past few days tucked away in the Hermes cabin, not wanting to leave each other alone in this strange summer camp. That's where they are now, A bunk bed in the corner of the room where after a few days of self isolation they twins agreed to go to dinner and meet new people.Leaving the Hermes cabin the girls follow the clusters of campers towards the dining pavilion. The girls look around and see a sea of campers and.. goat men? Not one of the strangest things they‘d seen, but queer nonetheless. They take a seat amongst the other children of Hermes, remembering their earlier agreement the twins turn away from each other and begin looking for a new face.
(OOC: This has been months in the making and Meg and Ducky are super excited to properly introduce Charlie and Charlise Arason! Charlie is written by Ducky and Charlise is written by Meg.)
( OOC: Meg, here! For further clarification, the now section is an invite for your character to either interact with Charlie and Charlise separately— meaning you’d only interact with one of them— or both of the twins, meaning both me and Ducky will reply to you as both twins. Feel free to pick which twin, or if you want to talk to both! Just make sure to clarify it in your comment ;) . )

Planning a trip this summer to Alaska and want to rent an RV / camper out of Anchorage for 7-10 days. We're flying in and looking for something small-ish (e.g., van, jeep/truck with rooftop tent) that comes with some of the basic equipment we'd need (e.g., propane stove, some cookware, a cooler, etc.). In other words, no bus-sized RVs for us.
Does anyone have experience with any of these:

• Alaska Camping Adventures
• Alaska Adventure
• Alaska Vans
• Vanderlust

Or any others that we should check out? (We also looked at GoNorth and Great Alaskan Holidays, but they don't have what we're looking for during the time we're there.)

I am looking at a van and it actually looks pretty clean for a 1989. (9) Marketplace - 1989 Ford E150 Passenger Facebook
I messaged the owner and they said it was used as a camper for most of its life. I am worried about that low cost and the 1989. Realistically, I know I'll have to put some kind of maintenance work into it in the near future. If I have an 8k budget, is purchasing this van, putting some work into it mechanically (whether I do it myself or take it in), then building it out realistic? Should I hold out for a newer van with less miles?
The post description: "5.0 V8, EFI, OD transmission, runs, drives and stops. Body is in great condition, no rust. New ECM, new water pump, new alternator, new muffler, oil and coolant changed, brakes fluid flushed and alignment checked, tires balanced and rotated, new u joints by Les Schwab, compression test by Simmons Automotive, all cylinders 165 psi+."
It is a 4 hour drive so I would definitely have a mobile mechanic check it out first.

I was reflecting today on how much I’ve enjoyed my career in GIS (now over 12 years into it) and how it has afforded me so many interesting experiences and good stories.
I think there is something special about GIS in that you are usually doing GIS for a random industry, and that then gives you the opportunity to get involved or exposed to what the workers are doing that is entirely not GIS. I love learning about the work that others are doing and its nuances. I find that this makes me a better GIS person, because I understand how people work and how good data and good GIS systems will help them be better at their jobs.
Here are some random non-GIS side jobs and adventures I have had while employed in the GIS industry. In all cases here I still was doing GIS 70% or more of the time, but when employers needed help with something or offered to get me involved in non-GIS stuff I always said yes.
Now that I am a bit later on in my career I say “no” to such opportunities if they will be major time sucks since I don’t have the time to get sidetracked and my value is better used on GIS work, but I’ll still never turn down an opportunity to do a quick ride along with an equipment operator or tour an interesting construction site. Stay Curious!
Job: GIS Intern for the Forest Service -Got to ride in a helicopter to a bunch of remote mountain top comms towers and act as an assistant for the radio maintenance technician. -Got to take a ride along to a remote tree planting camp for inspection.
Job: GIS Technician for the National Park Service -Flew in by float plane 10 days camped in a tent on a remote island in Alaska where we spent the days fishing from Zodiak boats to catch Kokanee salmon for a masters student’s genetic research project. -Took motorboat operators certification course and later got to drive a large landing craft to one of our survey sites. -Got to take firearm training where we learned to shoot shotguns loaded with slugs at bears. -Spent weeks pulling up invasive plants in the miserable Alaskan rain whilst getting eaten by mosquitos and black flies. -Was in a float plane flying back from a coastal survey site with some rangers when the pilot made an emergency diversion to rescue a camper that was being harassed by two grizzly bears at her camp site.
Job: GIS Manager for an Environmental Consulting Firm -Worked as a soil surveyors assistant and drove around the northern Canadian muskeg swamps in an Argo (tracked 6x6 amphibious vehicle) digging and logging soil test pits for 12 hours a day. At night in camp I would compile and clean the whole team’s GPS data into GIS. This was really fun and hard work. The bugs were bad, the work was dirty, there was lots of physical labour, route finding through mazes of old seismic survey cut lines, etc, but I got along well with my coworkers and we truly enjoyed it. -Got to work as a soils + vegetation monitor for an ice road construction project in Northern Canada, living for 8 day long shifts in a fly-in fly-out bush camp. The job involved working with snowcat, excavator, and bulldozer operators and ensuring they were constructing the roads while doing minimal environmental damage. First surveyors would mark out the road line, then loggers would come in and cut the trees. The snowcat would plow off the snow. After this tractors would drag a string of tires back and forth to compress the ground and the pound the frost down. Finally, a hole would be drilled in a nearby frozen lake and water trucks would pump out water and then spread it to freeze on the road surface. Then the road would be regularly graded by a road grader with teeth to ensure proper traction. -Worked as a labourer spreading native plant seeds by hand on a mine tailings dyke for a land reclamation project and also planting nursery seedlings into wetlands. -Drove a truck for 3 days across the country to deliver it to a company job site and then flew home.
Job: GIS Coordinator for a small municipality -Conducted sewer and water line service connection inspections on new home builds. This involved meeting contractors on construction sites and climbing down a ladder into a few meter deep muddy trench, checking the quality, slope, insulation and pipe material and conducting pressure tests. -Filled in for engineering technicians on single family home building permit review, checking building plans for lot grading and drainage and utility servicing configurations. -Issued road use and excavation permits for a wide variety of construction projects. Best story from this was when I issued a permit for a house move and the building movers left the house parked in the middle of the road and left for the weekend without telling us. -Managed a half million dollar engineering capital construction project that converted an old waste transfer station to an indoor bus shelter. -Led a land reclamation capital project to clean up an old dump site and return it to an Elk grazing meadow.
That's just the non-GIS stuff I've done in a small minority of my GIS career. Later I should attempt to list the GIS related tasks that I have worked on. GIS is widely applicable to so many things in this world.

I remember clips of a movie the grown-ups were watching (they kept sending a very young me out of the room), which had to be between 1989-1991. All I remember was a blonde woman having sex with a dude (in a trailecamper?), and when she was done, all that was left was a burnt, smoldering corpse. I think this happened more than once. I got the impression that they were aliens, but again, I was about 5 and didn't see the whole film. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
