Update from Arthur on Tim! And Alyssa!

We haven't found him yet. That's the first news.

But, we have been looking. A little while after Marlene posted last night, we heard the parties pass by. They were yelling for him. So we joined them.

Most of the park spent the evening scouring the trailers, the Rural Route, the diner, the lake. We're getting ready to go into the Swamp in a little bit. It got down to 6 degrees last night. As you can imagine, you'll lose your extremities in weather like that. But, folks had cocoa and hot soup for the lookers. Marlene stayed back at our trailer and supervised a bit. We're hoping that, once we get into the swamp interior, it will warm up slightly. (We're guessing here. Wishful thinking, probably.) It started snowing at 5AM and it's getting worse. Brisk & visibility is dropping. But, we're determined to find him.

We'll put up Mrs. Patrick and Tim for the next few days and some of the other folks have volunteered their places for other nights. We're trying to wrangle Jack Turbot's trailer for a little while. It just sits there, after all.

So, stay tuned. If you hear anything, send a comment or an email. Marlene is at the computer.

Keep warm and safe. Merry Christmas.

Oh, crap, crap. I'm sorry. They just told me this and I just told Marlene and it's coming in faster than we can type.

No one has seen Alyssa since last night when she left the party. She doesn't answer at her trailer. She doesn't answer her phone.

Alyssa, if you're out there, please contact us. Tell us you're safe. This is not the time of year to vanish.
