We believe it to be a great horned. I've also seen an owl flying over the road by the pony pasture and have heard reports from other people of it's hooting behind the pasture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-90073689806935764062011-07-15T16:22:42.451-04:002011-07-15T16:22:42.451-04:00I have no idea who that ranger was, but do we real...I have no idea who that ranger was, but do we really need Columbo to figure the rest?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-14279158399313032612011-07-15T12:33:19.764-04:002011-07-15T12:33:19.764-04:00Marvelous storytelling, Philip!Marvelous storytelling, Philip!Clemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275239433901992909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-54308985883857020422011-07-15T12:22:35.827-04:002011-07-15T12:22:35.827-04:00Neat Story!

But with computers some enterprising individual can create a virtual reality visit to The lighthouse, if dinosaurs and raptors can populate an amusement park think of the possibilities a Wii like game to experience the light house --- too bad world leaders can't settle their differences via chess like they did in ancient times-- how did becoming a martyr or hiding under the nose of someone hmm ask ancient Chinese warfare expert.
