Hi Rose

Not too sure if Maggie has enough energy to start spinning yet !  lol lol lol.  May just have to wait and see if anything transpires.  

I don't know about Kurt, but Basti and Lily are picking up Maggie's signals! Hi, Maggie!

Maggie swung back and forth, from her silken thread far far away on the other side.  She was plotting and planning and thinking so hard was Kurt was picking up the signals ?

Hi Patty...great and welcome...somewhere you type in a search, McNeill Bearwatchers or just even bearwatchers and it should get you there.  I think it's on the "map" page.  I am in a rush but will be back in a couple of hours so let me know and I will get more help to you if needed.  P.S. haven't posted a start over there yet, so you have plenty of time!

Lin, thank you so much for the entertainment of the story. I'm so sad that I won't be able to see it here any longer. I don't have access to the other place you said it would be posted. Please post some of your beautiful drawings here from time to time. They've been such a pleasure. You have a great talent. Thank you so much!

"Fly!' screamed the O'Meagle, "I see them!  "Lumber!" bellowed Kemoose.  "Watch out for Sebastian!" howled Karen.  "I'm ochay!" screeched Sebastian, not taking his mouth off of Kemoose's horn and not mentioning he was loosing some tail feathers.  "Flee now!" warned Karen, but suddenly she wondered where Roxy and Sarah went and if she would ever see them again.

Or how a group of friends who never met created and messed up a good story.

That's Me!

Thank you Kurt.

I, too, did not know what a brechtian storyteller was. I am learning so much. This story is so deep on so many levels. I am quite sure I am hearing voices everywhere I turn. What fun. I always wondered what really happened to Kakadu, now I know! Great job Lin, Rox, Karen, and all contributors!

"At last we can talk," said Karen to The Awesome O'Meagle. I have been searching with Roxy for THE BEAR. She's persistently, insistently worried and I lost the trail a few months back. Can you help in our quest?"  "THE BEAR moves in mysterious ways and I saw many at McNeil River Falls this summer." replied the O'Meagle. "Then I saw they went to the forest."  "Mhnn," thought Karen.  "No I saw THE BEAR in the woods sometime later, but then it snowed and the trail was lost."

"I think we better do a GREAT CALLING." announced Karen.  ("GREAT CALLING?" thought Kemoose.  "I'm THE GREAT LISTENER, so I can probably do GREAT anything!") "GREAT CALLING? asked The Awesome O'Meagle.  "Then this is really serious.  Do you want a Level 1, 2, or level 3 GREAT CALLING?"  Karen thought hard and said "We need a level 1 on this, the highest."

Maggie was indeed up another "tree".  Sebastian the Intrepid thought the better part of valor was to get a leeettle bit higher while Sylvan was searching the Field Guide in her mind to see if "Maggies" were tasty. Had they heard anything at all that was said?

 

 

 

The VOICES:  "GREAT  this, GREAT that!  When will we be done with GREAT?"  "I don't know about 'GREAT' but is that spider getting closer?"
