Wendover Will wins at 64 feet. Big John? A paltry 40 feet. John is also stationary, while Wendover Will waves!

Ohhhhhh yes, limp wristed Wendover Will. I remember him well waving far off in the distance like a mirage as you slogged across the salt flats. He was the guarantee that there was something other than white salt in the world...until you drove through Wendover and started across the Nevada desert.
ReplyDeleteWhere was Big John located? Good thing he wasn't animated with that pick ax.
Big John guards the Iron Mountain Mine in the UP
ReplyDeleteI'm way out here west of Wendover so I'm not sure I know what UP means. I'm assuming upper peninsula, Michigan? He's sort of a drowsy looking fellow, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteIndeed UP is Up. I think this is Big John's original face, i've seen him with a new paint job in pictures.
