“I have traveled all throughout this country and have never seen a city of gold.  Although there are things in the wild lands that nobody would believe me if I told them.  I have seen these “Skinwalkers” as the natives call them.  I have seen many other creatures from their legends too.  Such as the great thunderbird, the large wild men, and even horned jack rabbits.  I am fond of the Jackalopes actually.  They sing during the thunderstorms late at night.  All these I have seen, though from a great distance of course.  I have no proof unfortunately.

Oooo, that last part is cryptic. What could NPS-CD stand for? Is this something else I need to find? Like, jackalopes at least used to exist, but there is a file on them somewhere. I must find them, they are so cute! Who else thinks about America’s Funniest Home Videos when they think of jackalopes?
