You’ll Never Guess Who Won This Months Hunt? By Bob Ledford, WA4IDI First off, congratulations goes out to Arthur KA4VWK, Vicki and AJ Byrnes, for putting on one of the hardest hunts in quite a while. Arthur stated that it was purely by accident that it turned out to have such a high difficulty factor - reflections out the kazoo. This months hunt teams totaled six and they were; Team Ledford, Anne (driver) and Bob WA4IDI, Team Walker consisted of Lee KJ4AQH and Laura KJ4AQG Walker, Omar KJ4CXU and Jim AJ4GM,also riding with them was Heather, Diazo and Abigail as Supervisors, Darrell Brock N4GOA and Hugh Royal W4AND made up Team Brock, Team Schwartz consisted of Bill WS1C, Robert KJ4FBN Schwartz, Paul Milward AB4PM (driver and chaperon), and John LoCicero K4TUG, Supervisor. Emily and Richard Cook W2RAC, Glenn WB4WHN and Fred Villers K8FV composed Team Cook and last but not least the new hunters on the street, Team Bowen consisting of Leah KI4QGF and George (Dad) KI4QGC. (If I made any errors in the Team List it is my secretaries fault, right Darrell?) Got to keep up the suspense of this almost tale of fiction. The hunters all gathered up at the food court to fuel themselves up for the stress’s of bunny hunting. Little did we know at the time that everyone should have gotten "take out to go" also. The "show" started on time with everyone hearing the bunny, Leah and Dad had some minor problems at first being it was their first hunt but that will go away with time and experience. Anne and I started out by going North to Dunn followed by Team Cook but soon parted company at George Ingram and Ridgewood and rejoined company at the ballpark. To part again at the entrance/exit on Orange Avenue where we went East towards the beachside and they went West to go South on Beach Street. We meticulously picked our way South alternating between A1A and South Peninsula Drive until we arrived at a place named "McElroy Park" and here is where we really had the signal. Our RF Signal Sniffer with an outside antenna started to growling and we had the scent, fresh rabbit tracks. It took Anne a few minutes to find another street entrance and we followed the scent right to the bunnies lair. He was dead meat at that point. We figured he had been found before us as we had never laid an eye on any of the other hunter/trackers until we spotted the Walker Team in the same spot we had just abandoned as a hot spot but a cold trail. Much to our surprise we were Number One. So we hot footed it out of the parking lot and as we were making our get a way the Walker’s spotted us and started thinking ought oh wrong spot then they spotted the bunny lair too. The order of finish was: Team Ledford in 45 minutes, Team Walker in about 50 minutes,
Team Cook in about 52 minutes, Team Brock in just over one hour, Team
Schwartz in less then 90 minutes, and we are still looking for Team
Bowen. But they will be in contention sooner then later as Leah had that
bunny killer look in her eyes at the starting point.
It wasn’t a dark and stormy night............ As a matter of fact, the hard rains from earlier in the afternoon disappeared and other being a sweltering July night, it was perfect for a hunt. Five teams started the hunt and SIX finished! More to follow on that later. The July 2008 bunny was team N4GOA (Darrell) and W4AND (Hugh). Knowing that everyone has come to expect from us a high powered transmitter with it being a good idea to have plenty of gas in the tank, it was time for the bunny to be hidden nearby and using low power. No fox-box noise makers, no bouncing signals off tall buildings, just a simple setup with a HT running about 1 watt or less hidden in an ammo can "bunny box", well hidden under the bushes at the base of an oak tree on the campus of Daytona State College - or as we all still call it, DBCC. There was no way to avoid getting out on foot and DF’ing the transmitter, dopplers were of no use past the parking lot. Even team WS1C (Bill) / KJ4FBN (Robert - congrats on the new license) / K4TUG (John) / Pat Schwartz and team W2RAC (Richard) / Emily / K8FV (Fred) / WB4WHN (Glenn) had to hike to the end - after they both came back from the beachside? Just how did you guys wind up over there? I guess N4GOA is going to have to hide on the beach someday considering how much time WS1C spends over there looking for him! Team AJ4GM (Jim) / KJ4AQG (Laura) / KJ4AQH (Lee) all started out as one team in one vehicle, but when they got onto the campus they split up.....the first part of the team was all over the bushes directly below the outside staircase where the bunny team was sitting on the 2nd floor landing, not once did they look up to see us up there.....when they finally did, they did appear to be quite surprised that the HT in N4GOA’s hand wasn’t the transmitter! We were transmitting on UHF with a dual band HT in the bunny box operating as a cross-band repeater. Resuming the hunt, one of the team members finally located the bunny in the bushes. The only problem was that apparently Jim and Lee forgot to tell Laura that they had found the bunny, so she kept looking until she was the second to find the hidden box. That’s how we finished with six teams! First place was done in about 21 minutes, second place only took about a minute or two longer. By then, team WB4QAC(Rick) / YL Vicki and team KB4GW (Bruce) / KA4MLQ (Ann) were hot on the bushes, with Rick/Vicki finding it just barely ahead of Bruce and Ann. Those four teams departed the area, and once again there were two lonely hams sitting at the top of the stairs with nothing to do but tell more lies on the radio, wondering if WS1C’s earlier slipup in an email was going to be true. It seems that when Bill (WS1C) sent out a bragging email the other day about craving some fresh bunny wabbit and having BBQ sauce, he made just one little typo - he bragged about seeing us around 8:15pm (instead of 7:15pm), I guess he had already given up and was just planning on meeting us at the party hole!!!!!!!!! But finally, Bill, John and Robert came into sight.....Bill sent Robert up the stairs to claim his numbered ticket and was folding up his tape measure yagi till the bunny came back on the air goading him about quitting early before he found the bunny. So back to the DF’ing they went, only to be beat to the end by Richard/Fred/Emily/Glenn who secured 5th place leaving Bill and company to finish last. These two teams wound up with elapsed times of about 40 and 41 minutes. Team W4IDI (Bob) / Ann weren’t able to make the hunt waiting on the a/c repairman but were able to join us at Steak & Shake afterwards for plenty of food, fun and fellowship. Hugh took plenty of photos during the foot segment, we hope Bob can post them with this report. /s/ Ben Hunted, N4GOT/10
07.20.2008 A WS1C Special by Bob Ledford, WA4IDI This week’s transmitter hunt was a drive down the street for some and "one of those" that you wish you had never opened your mouth and said "Lets Go" for at least one hunt team. As usual the week prior to the hunt started out very normal. That is one of those weeks when one or more teams threatened the bunny with being stew pot or BBQ material at least once or twice. The team effort of Richard W2RAC, Glenn WB4WHN and Grandpa Fred K8FV finished in first place as is pretty much the norm for them when they are hot. The team of the Walker’s and Jim AG4JN were hotter then most but they also have been on a steady climb to the top of the ladder. Their first hunt was a DNF, the second one a second and this one a second place finish also. Not too shabby for a bunch of newbies. In fact I think they deserve to be promoted to the "journeymen-team status." Team Ledford, Bob WA4IDI and Anne finished third and Team Kalashian finished fourth. But truthfully they were both third place as Bob and Bruce were at the same spot microseconds apart. Because we were both standing there at the tree under the antenna at the same time the transmitter came on and spotted the antenna having found the bunny box earlier and just waiting to confirm that Schwartz had not planted a dummy fox box on them. The real kicker was everyone standing around waiting on the Team of Brock N4GOA and Royal W4AND to figure out where East was. Darrell has a lot of testing to do now before the next hunt as he suffered an equipment failure and his Doppler Scan led them off in the chase of trolls and fairies instead of bunnies. But by skillful directing him in with specialized hints like turn left, right, go North, go South, go East and follow the road to the end. They were able to claim last place instead of a DNF for which they received a rousing cheer from everyone else. We all had to wait on the dime to show up as the after hunt social was at the Schwartz bunny hole and Fraulein Schwartz showed up early to pick up Hare Schwartz at the hunt hole and without her being at the home bunny lair the hole gate was closed to the public. The bunny setup at the far end of Marina Point Drive in the City of Daytona Beach Yacht basin just south of the Armed Forces Reserve Center. The antenna and transmitter were stashed on the backside of an ugly palm tree and was remotely keyed by a "Repeat-A-Mate" from where the team was supposedly fishing from a fishing pier out in the Halifax River. Like all good hunts Murphy showed up for more then just Darrell. Team Schwartz had transmitter, audio, audio quality, keying, un-keying and lack of good strong muscle tone in holding the mike button down with their fox box systems. The after hunt discussion meeting social event was held at the Schwartz bunny lair where everyone enjoyed the re-hash of the hunt and social networking until almost 10:45 PM. Never once did anyone not solve the world’s problems either! 06.21.2008 Oh no another bunny hunt weekend by Bob Ledford, WA4IDI It happened so smoothly that it almost did not happen due to unforeseen incidents that popped up out of nowhere. Months ago, I put my name on the hunt calendar and then all of a sudden it was time to produce a hunt scenario when Murphy showed up. This was one of those hunts that I wanted to put on that was different from others that I had done in the past. But how do you make them any different then others? You go hid a transmitter and launch a signal expecting all those hunters to go deaf, dumb and stupid when it comes to finding you. This time I wanted to either put the bunnies lair either underground or in a tree. Equipment failing to arrive in a timely manner eliminated the underground part. Picking the lair’s location was done in three phases, the map recon, the on the ground recon then the on the air recon. The map recon only took an hour or so. The on the ground stage revealed several of the proposed locations being city parks closed at sunset. The newspaper showed sunset for hunt night being at 8:10 PM which was excellent. The on the air phase revealed location A having to strong a signal at the starting point (SP). Location B was to weak at the SP. However, C was weak but readable at the SP. Looking around at C showed a ladder, staple gun and camouflage bag as being necessary to do a good job of hiding everything. We, Joe SRoyal, K2SAN, and myself, agreed to met back at C, the West end of the City of Ormond Beach’s Public Library parking lot at 6:00 PM to put everything in place. Murphy showed up in the meantime and hid in my ICOM T-90A for a while. Then the sorry rat jumped over into the "PIcCon Hidden Transmitter Controller." Solving the problem was not possible on the short term so "a work around" was implemented. The hunt started on time and ended with all the foxes finding the bunnies lair but not without a lot of difficulties. For one, they thought when they found the hunt master’s that they had found the bunny hole. But when the hunt master’s told them you have been decoyed they all jumped up and down an had to go digging out their "on the ground gear" and exercise their "sneaker mobiles." First hunter to find the bunny was the Team of WB4WHN, K8FV and W2RAC. Second went to the Team of AJ4GM, KJ4AGN and KJ4AQG who on the last hunt were DNF’ers. Third went to the Team of WS1C, K4TUG and others. Fourth went to KB4GW and KA4MLQ. Last but not least Team WB4QAC. Everyone had a good time finding us in less then 30 minutes and more then 10 minutes. The bunnies were the last ones to get to "Cowlick’s Ice Cream parlor" too. Equipment list: ICOM O2AT running minimum RF watts PicCon Hidden Transmitter Controller 300 Ohm J-Pole Antenna Stapler Waterproof Woodland Green Camouflage Zipper Bag 5 Foot Step ladder Small Oak Tree 05.19.2008 Team Kluwe Hunt Results by Bob Ledford, WA4IDI The team of Rick Kluwe, WB4QAC and Vicky Stark, was held on Saturday evening,18 April 2008. Everything went along great until the hunt started. The turn out was very good, with the following participants: Team Kalashian: Bruce KB4GW and Ann KA4MLQ and the new team of Bruce and Ann Williamson (their Doppler System developed a serious antenna problem) so they chose to ride shot gun. This team found the bunny hole first. Team W2RAC: Richard Cook, W2RAC and daughter Emily, Fred Villers, K8FV and Glenn, WB4WHN. (Second) Team Brock: Darrell N4GOA and Hugh W4AND (Fourth) Team Schwartz: Bill WS1C, Pat, Robert, Paul AB4PM and John, K4TUG.(Third) Team Ledford: Bob WA4IDI and Anne (DNF) Team ?: Jim, AJ4GM along with Lee KJ4AGN and Laurie KJ4AQG Walker (who are new additions to bunny hunting). (DNF) 04.21.2008 A Super Hunt with Team W2RAC as the "Bunny" This months bunny hunt was an excellent hunt put on by the ever capable team of Richard Cook, Fred Villers and Glenn, WB4HWN. They even went so far as to employ the services of a very competent hostess in "Miss Emily Cook." The following teams of avid fox hunters participated in the hunt:
The starting point (SP) was a mass of confusion as everyone was busy doing all those things that one thinks needs to be done. Such as blowing smoke up your competitors nose, bragging, fretting and finding out that your antenna really is broken not just hard of hearing. At the pre-hunt bunny test transmission Art, KA4WDK, discovered his DF antenna was stone deaf broke. So Bob, WA4IDI, offered the load of his backup quad antenna. While they were getting that out and setup the bunny announced the hunt is on. Everyone drove off leaving them at the SP to finish up. Bob got out of the SP second from last place. The Team Williams crew were giving their new Ramsey Doppler kit its first run since being completed just hours and minutes prior to the hunt. Bruce says that his Ann took them to New Smyrna Beach because she had the display upside down. But no one believes him. They got their directions to the Dairy Queen via cell phone since they are not "hams yet!" Team Byrnes stopped to visit every park between the SP and Ormond Beach suffering from short transmission times and long off the air times in conjunction with not being able to find places to pull off the road and jump out of the vehicle, running to the back, jerking open the gate, getting the antenna out, grabbing the HT and finally getting a bearing before the bunny went off the air. To slow and they would have to stand there and wait for the next transmission then stuff it all back in the car and head off in the last direction. Team Kalashian suffered from a Doppler systems failing part and were getting errors in the read out consistently. Team Kluwe was just seconds behind Team Ledford who was seconds behind Team Brock. Team Ledford found on the last hunt that their system was lacking in adequate waterproofing and was suffering an antenna failure. Having found and fixing the antenna problem and improving the waterproofing Bob also found the antenna pattern to be out of square while doing this weeks installation on the roof top so much of Saturday mornings install time was spent squaring the template up. Bob resisted Anne’s constant "what if" suggestions to stop and look here or there and followed the bouncing ball (LED) to the rabbits hole. We did do one thing that was totally out of character, we stopped where a guy was working on his boat and asked how to get to a point on the other side of a body of water that was in the way and with his directions drove to the rabbits hole. The bunny team are to be commended on a very interesting hunt that had a significant difficulty factor to make it challenging but not so difficult that it resulted in massive doses of frustration to the hunters. 03.17.2008 Hunt Report 1/19/2008 by Art Byrnes, KA4WDK The Bunny was well hidden in plain site, just 5.5 miles as the crow flies, from the starting point. These are the coordinates according to Google Earth; 29° 7'2.54"N 81° 3'38.40"W Because of all the twisting and turning roads the driving trail to the bunny was about 8.5 miles If you check you will see that Google Earth ( http://earth.google.com/ ) does not show the roads that have built in that area, but the Bunny Team was at the end of a long paved road, that you could only get to from one direction, even though it seemed reachable from other roads. It was quite a briar patch of twisty turning roads, cul de sacs, and dead ends.Murphy attacked the bunny's signal and made it hard to hear, the hunters were directed to head south from the starting place at Volusia Mall at 7:00 pm Possibly the thunderstorm with rain and lots of lightening added to the confusion. The Bunny Team was Arthur Byrnes KA4WDK, Vikki Byrnes KB4KVP, AJ Byrnes, and guest Bruce Williams. This was Bruce's first hide, although he had hunted before with Bruce and Ann. The first hunt team to find them was Rick WB4QAC and Vicky. They arrived at 7:33 pm The second place team was Paul AB4PM, El-Presidente John K4TUG, Bill WS1C, His son Robert, and Grandson Mathew. With all the passengers in the van, the Bunny Team thought that maybe they had been found by a bunch of folks trying to sneak across the border :-) Third place was Richard W2RAC, and Fred K8FV, missing second by just a few minutes. Bob WA4IDI, and Anne came within a mile of the briar patch, but had to drop out because of equipment problems caused by the heavy rains. (Yes, I fixed several problems during the day on Sat. but the one that did not work out was the waterproofing job. Saran Wrap does not hold up well in the wind and rain over the cab of the truck. When I stored it last night it got stored in a vertical position and was going drip, drip, drip, drip. Oh well we got close and the equipment was not lying to us until it got deep enough in the collector box to float the circuit board.) Bob wa4idi Bruce KB4GW and Ann KA4MLQ became entangled in the briar patch and got to take home the skunk, since it seems they may have come as close as 2,000 feet from the bunny. After the hunt everyone gathered at Marble Slab Creamery, had ice cream and shared war stories about the hunt, and hunting in general. Webmasters note - Art and Vicky did a good hunt location and the weather fully cooperated on making it in to a very difficult hunt with the rain, darkness, slick looking streets and unfamiliar location and things being built in areas that we knew to be farm land now turned residential area. 2008 is off to a good start with a good turn out for hunt number 1. 01.09.2008
Merry Christmas from N4GOA by Darrel Brock, The Dastardly Bunny! The concept was to have a straightforward drive-up hunt, the only difficulty with that concept was that there was no straight way to drive from the starting point at the mall to Pineland Trail in Ormond Beach - northwest of the Ormond airport, just south of US1. Pineland Trail is the road that runs immediately east of I-95 from US1 south to Airport Road, coming out at the Ormond Green subdivision, and the stretch of road where the bunny was hiding has got to be one of the darkest roads on this side of Volusia County. Drawing a direct line from the Volusia Mall to the bunny hole takes you somewhat along Clyde Morris Blvd., which ends at Granada Blvd. in Ormond Beach with the Trails North 40 subdivision straight ahead and the Hidden Hills subdivision just to the west. From there the direct driving route ends, but if you continue along that map line you cross the Tomoka River and find yourself in the Ormond Airport Industrial Park, the Ormond Airport, and the Ormond Beach Soccer Complex on the north side. Team Schwartz, WS1C and company - including Paul AB4PM and John K4TUG - apparently are now very familiar with the soccer complex, having spent most of the evening wandering around there, thinking the bunny was at the flagpole, no wait, across that soccer field, no wait, maybe he's over there, etc. Final result for Team Schwartz was to utter the magic word of "Uncle" at about 8:20pm. Team Ledford, WA4IDI, called the bunny on the cell phone at about 7:50pm to be the first to cry "Uncle", having driven around in circles in downtown Ormond Beach and never getting out of the Granada/US1 area. At least they had the honor of being the first to arrive at the Dairy Queen for some treats! Team Villers, consisting of Fred K8FV and Glenn WB4WHN, by about 8:25pm were convinced that they were right on top of the bunny as they had made it to Airport Road and had a full scale signal on the HT......sorry, still a few miles away. The bunny called it quits at that point and broke down the gear, pulling into the Dairy Queen directly behind this last wayward team. For the benefit of those three DNF teams, the bunny consisted of a horizontally polarized yagi at 19 feet above the hard deck, on top of an dark green extension pole that was lashed to a fence post near a off-the-side-of-the-road billboard. The bunny radio was under a dark green tarp at the base of the pole, so as you drove by you wouldn't even seen it. That yagi was pointed directly at the Volusia Mall, hence pointed directly at the soccer complex, the airport, etc etc etc. Just a simple off the side of the road hunt - right! So what were the success stories of the evening? In first place was Team Kalashian, consisting of Bruce X2 and Anne X2 (KB4GW and KA4MLQ, along with another couple with the same names). They worked their way west from the soccer fields on Harmony Road, hitting Pineland Trail to the south of the bunny and then heading north.....with a finish time of 1 hour and 1 minutes. In second place was Team Kluwe WB4QAC, consisting of himself, finishing in 1 hour and 8 minutes. Rick, after spending some time checking out the parking lot at Wal-Mart and the new apartment complex just to the north, finally came north on Tymber Creek Road, and went pretty directly on track from there, taking Airport Road to Pineland Trail and to the bunny den - although he was a little disappointed when he walked up to the bunny's ride and discovered I was just keeping surveillance up on my bunny box somewhat to the south. Following the hunt, during some consumption of Dairy Queen's favorite treats, we had an informal discussion of maybe putting an end to horizontal polarization of the bunny's signals - it's been done a fair amount lately and is causing some problems with the doppler units and a reduced signal. An alternative would be to require the bunny to announce prior to the hunt if he intends to use a horizontal signal, much like the bunny can change the general boundaries, etc., as long as the word is put out in advance. Looks like Art, KA4WDK, has agreed to be the January bunny so maybe all of the active hunters could kick this idea around and reach an agreement prior to that hunt. So tonight's hunt was both straightforward and frustrating, a longer drive than we've been doing lately, and although not a success for everyone I'm sure it was a learning experience for all of us, including the bunny. May your holidays be filled with love and joy............... Merry Christmas to all! Darrell, N4GOA The Perfect Hunt that Wasn’t by Bob and Anne Ledford "Twas" the week before Thanksgiving and the weather was supposed to be cold in Wonderland. It was not windy and it was not cold for the way we were dressed cuz’ the Weatherman lied again. We, Anne and I, spent the spent the major portion of one full afternoon scouting out the most dastardly places we could think of within the city limits of Ormond Beach and decided on one particular spot. Then during a "what if and suppose we did this" session the perfect definite spot there was picked out. Saturday morning, hunt day, arrived and it was time for Anne to go shopping and Bob went to the garage and started preparing and checking out the equipment. The "W2RAC bunny box" was in perfect condition just as Richard said it would be. The J-pole antenna was rigged to the "bunny box" in line with a power and SWR meter to make sure everything was within limits. A on the air test was made and everything was a go. It was pack and go time. The trek into the bunny hole took longer then expected due to over dressing and no break in the fence line because some idiot locked the gate that was open so we had to truck it all up to the entrance of the parking lot then back down the street to the bunny hole which was open to the general public. Setup commenced and the subsequent test revealed a very high SWR. What was amiss? Finally, a suitable answer came out. It did not like the combination of the lamp post or the safety railing. So we decided to put it in the potted palm trees at the park. Good idea but neither one of us could make it hook to one of the palm branch stubs. So Bob climbed in the pot and up one of the trees and hooked it on then wedged the PVC pipe between the other two to get the horizontal layout of the J-pole antenna that he wanted. Finally the hunt was on, Bob and Anne sitting on a park bench under the antique street light on the East bank of the Halifax River, in Ormond Beach just under the Granada bridge in the park. The # 1 fox team of N4GOA and W4AND arrived in 28 minutes followed by # 2 team of W2RAC, K8FV and WB4WHN in 29 minutes, followed by # 3 team of WS1C, AB4PM and K4TUG in 30 minutes, followed by # 4 team of KB4GW and KA4MLQ and # 5 a did not find the bunny team of WB4QAC and Vicki. WB4QAC was severely handicapped by the fact that he was in Vicki’s car and not his usual setup van which decided to blow a radiator hose Saturday PM before the hunt, thereby not having anything but a quickly improvised "antenna in a beef stew can" setup to try to hunt with. Give WB4QAC a resounding "A" for effort! 11.18.2007 The Sign on the Door said "No Animals Allowed" by Bob Ledford, WA4IDI Is it going to rain since it has been so hot all day long? Surely not! We were all hoping it would not as it was the eve of the monthly bunny hunting expedition. The bunnies this month were to be "Team Schwartz consisting of Bill, WS1C, John, K4TUG and Paul AB4PM. It turned out that Paul was away and Robert, Bill’s son subbed for Paul. Being a Saturday night some of us got our weekly bath’s early and some waited I guess. You never know where the dastardly bunny is going to run you off to. The month was no exception. The pre-start or "can you hear my transmitted signal" phase got off to a Murphy’s Law start. Bill was not to be found on the K4BV Repeater then he was but on the direct side not the repeat side. Then he showed up on the hunt frequency looking for WA4IDI. But I did not have one radio that would transmit on that frequency which sent me into a tail spin trying to get one reprogrammed in a hurry. With the new families of microprocessor radios and menu’s that just don’t happen easily. But being hams we finally got a radio on line and the hunt was on. The signal was loud and clear but as we started to drive off it got really weak. Was he underneath the parking lot? Darrell Brock, N4GOA, and Hugh Royal, K4AND, took the road closest to the mall around the mall. Rick, WB4QAC, and Vicky, Bruce, KB4GW, and Ann, KA4MLQ followed by Richard, W2RAC and Fred, K8FV and us took the high road or the one the furtherest from the mall buidling. After making two laps is was pretty certain that the rabbit was using either low power or had everything in a steel box because the signal was here but not there and it was only inches between here and there if you know what I mean? Sitting in the mall parking lot I dug out my handheld antenna and had a full scale reading on my ICOM IC-90 so I turned on the electronic attenuator and had no signal so it was definitely low power and coming from inside the mall. But the sign on the door clearly read "No Pets Allowed" so what do you do. I was standing next to the tail gate of my truck when Richard and Fred drove up totally frustrated. He has to be in the mall was the general consciences. At that moment the Mall Security truck drove up and asked "do you need any help?" Anne said, "Yes, help us find the bunny" which lead into a discussion with her and she said, "Oh you mean those guys in the mall by the coffee shop with a radio on the table?" Yea, and we thanked her and locked the truck down and headed inside to find the bunny. It turns out that most everyone found the bunny at almost the same time. Vicky found him first without any radio detection gear. Then Rick got there, followed by the deadly duo of Darrell and Hugh, followed by Ann and Bruce, then Richard and Fred leaving Anne and I to bring up the tail. But by being last we also proved the point again, we found the dastardly rabbits lair. Every one then sojourned to the ice shop for refreshments and after hunt BS! 09.18.2007 Updated: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 |
