Missing: One Dinosaur
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 30th, 2012
Okay, let’s be careful about people reporting any strange sightings on the fly of “living dinosaurs” in the Mountain States during the end of June.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin Journal Sentinel posted the following, partially, in their article “Stealosaurus rex: $250 reward offered for 12-foot dinosaur lifted from Montana truck stop“:
The folks at Hi-Noon Petroleum in Montana have a new way to turn a dinosaur into gasoline. They’re offering a $250 gas card for information leading to the safe return of Dino, a 12-foot-long fiberglass Sinclair dinosaur that disappeared June 21 from the Crossroads Travel Center west of Missoula.
…
The 6-foot tall green dinosaur sat on a hill overlooking Interstate 90 for at least five years, Allen said, with occasional appearances in University of Montana Homecoming parades.
…
Anyone with information on Dino’s whereabouts is asked to call Hi-Noon.
Thanks for news tip from Linda Godfrey.
