Mission: Headache Run Lock Down

Destination: Local area not yet discovered

Objective: Secure all ice cream source samples and points of possible adventure

Agents: Munkay, K1, K2, The Jakes, sometimes Eli


First Destination: Artsy/Craftsy/Animal store:

Did not linger long at this destination. Was reprimanded for blowing the shop's wooden loon whistle that was available for sale. Agent K1, in self defense, stared right at the counter monkey and let fly his own loon impersonation, having mastered the technique during a camping mission years before. His call did not attract a loon from the inside of the store, but the boys fifth grade teacher from the local elementary. Almost aborted mission right there due to school room fash backs. Ice cream cones were inhaled in parking lot before reaching the jeep. Discovered leaning forehead against hot metal exterior of vehicle helps brain freeze.

Second Destination: Gemoligists art studio

Infiltrated the little store as quickly as possible and encountered the proprietor, who goes by the name Steven, and was disguised as mid fifties man of questionable sexuality. All in black and bedecked and bedazzled in precious gems and jewelry, it was my youngest son, K2 that won the mans alliance with his mood ring. After an hour an a half of interigation, we had learned more information than we thought possible about minerals, fossils and rocks. I took away with me one gorgeous pair of jade and silver earrings, a fosilized sharks tooth and five free crystals plus a good friend, which was acquired buy K1's final question, "But which rock is YOUR favorite?"

Fourth Destination: Hidden Dentists Studio Under the Guise of Ice Cream Store.

We cracked this case when we realized the malt machine sounded like a dentists drill and our drinks caused us a sleepy and calm sensation. Also Eli pointed out Dr. Frozen Dairy's white coat should have been an apron. I may have lost all track of time while there, and one of the Jakes claims the filling in his back molar hurt afterwards.

Third Destination: Local Artists Water Color Studio Of Bad Landscapes And Clothes Line Senery:

We quickly besieged the owner right away with our number and youth. Was told she catered to only serious art patrons as we filled her shop. K2, (who had pained an oil on canvas of Vincent Van Gough's, "Stary Night" for his art and academic school fair) replied with the proper response, "Thats ok, we only like serious art", upon our speedy get away.

Fourth Destination: Malt Shop

Secured the area promply and numerous samples were seized and consumed. We were smart and left our vehicle 8 blocks away at the nearest parking lot as too throw any possible trackers off our trail. Very effective as we could not find our way back.

Fifth Destination: Joseph Wolf Historic Cave and Brewery

No better environment for a group of pre-adolescent males. I have indeed trained them well as no matter how art I tried, I was unable to lose a single one of them in the maze of dark cold underground tunnels. High point of the tour: hearing the boys chant, "chug chug chug chug", in unison while exploring off the beaten path. *Mothers disclaimer- I do not nor will I ever encourage any irresponsible drinking behavior, especially from under age minors, but the sight of a group of boys pretending to be a beer train in an old cave brewery was just funny.*

Conclusion: Local area is full of untapped thrill a minute resources, local culture and tasty frozen concoctions. Mission accomplished.
