2017 Iron Butt Rally, Leg 1 Minneapolis, MN to Allen, TX 2017 Iron Butt Rally, Leg 1 Minneapolis, MN to Allen, TX Packing List Leg 1 Bonus Pack – Minneapolis, MN to Allen, TX Claimed Bonuses Form Ask Rallymaster if there are any changes or corrections Before leaving the checkpoint, make sure you can find each bonus location and have a clear understanding of what is required to earn the bonus WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE ON A LEG UNTIL YOU HAVE VERIFIED THAT ALL PAPERWORK IS IN YOUR RALLY PACKAGE FOR THAT LEG. EACH PAGE IS NUMBERED. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. CRITICAL: Please be respectful when placing your flag in photos. Private property and priceless museum pieces must not be used as your flag support. To earn any bonus, you MUST claim it on the Claimed Bonuses form. This includes Rest bonuses and Call-In bonuses. If you lose the Claimed Bonuses form, you will earn no bonus points for the leg. REMEMBER: Unless otherwise specified, I.D. Flags are required in all photos. Page 1 of 12 Scoring Instructions All bonuses are available at point values listed in this pack within the time restrictions listed in the rally book. Bonuses in the rally book are divided into five categories: Air, Land, Mythical, Prehistoric, and Water. Those categories are denoted in the bonus codes by the first letter of the code. For example, the “A” in code “ABB” indicates this as an “Air” bonus. Riders who successfully visit and claim three (3) bonuses in a row of the same category will earn double (2x) the listed value of the third bonus in that string of three. Any individual bonus will only apply to one string of three. The string counter resets upon completion of each string of three. In order to earn the string multiplier, riders must visit and claim the three bonuses sequentially without visiting or claiming a bonus of a different category. Rest and Call-In bonuses do not affect a string. Bonus Strings are NOT mandatory to be a finisher; they are simply a way to accrue more points towards your total. Riders looking to finish the rally should target a total of 10,000 points on this leg, including Arrival, Tracking, Rest, and Call-In bonuses. The Leg 1 Rest Bonus value is 4 points per minute for a minimum of 4 hours up to 8 hours maximum.

  • Wisconsin Folklore and Folklife Society Which Has Excellent Promise
    FOLKLORE Walker D. Wyman Acknowledgement Unive rsity of Wisconsin-Extension· is especially indebted to Dr. Loren Robin­ son of the Department of J ournali sm, University of Wisconsin, River Fall s, and lo Leon Zaborowski, Universit y Extension, River Falls, for the initial concept of a series of articles on Wisconsin fo lklore, published through daily and weekly newspa­ pe rs in Wisconsin. It was from those articles by Walker Wyman that this book was developed. The contribution of the va rious newspapers which ca rried the articles is also gratefully acknowledged. A Grass Roots Book Copyright © 1979 by Unive r sity of Wisconsin Boar d of Regents All r ight s r eserved Libra ry of Congress Catalog Ca rd Number 79-65323 Published by University of Wisconsin-Extension Department of Arts Development. Price: $4.95 ii Foreword The preparation of a book on folklore to be published by the University Exten­ sion is a major event. There has been, for many years, strong sentiment that the University of Wisconsi n ought to take a more dynamic interest in folklore, and that eventually, academic work in that subject should be established on many of the cam­ puses. So far only the Universities at Eau C laire, River Falls, and at Stevens Point have formal courses. The University at M adison has never had an y such course though informal interest has been strongly present. The University at R iver Falls has developed, through the activities and interests of Dr. Walker W yman, a publish­ ing program which has produced several books of regional fol klore.

Cox Illustrated by Coert DuBois Washington, D. C. Press of Judd & Detweiler, Inc. 1910 Copyright, iSS I a 1 1 By WILLIAM T. COX 209806 HAP 31 1917 - C^3 Jlffetlionately dedicated to the Con catenated Order of Hoo-Hoo and all who know the fellowship of the woods NO. 19949 INTRODUCTION Every lumber region has its lore. Thrilling tales of ad venture are told in camp wherever the logger has entered the wilderness. The lumber jack is an imaginative being, and a story loses none of its interest as it is carried and repeated from one camp to another. Stories which I know to have originated on the Penobscot and the Kennebec are told, some what strengthened and improved, in the redwood camps of Humboldt Bay. Yarns originating among the river drivers of the Ottawa, the St. Croix, and the upper Mississippi are re- spun to groups of listening loggers on Vancouver Island. But every lumber district has its own peculiar tales. Some have their songs also, and nearly all have mysterious stories or vague rumors of dreadful beasts with which to regale new comers and frighten people unfamiliar with the woods. Much has been written concerning the lumber jack and his life ; some of his songs, rough but full of the sentiment of his exciting vocation, have been commemorated, but, so far as I know, very few of the strange creatures of his imagination have ever been described by the naturalist or sketched by the artist.

  • 1. American Folklore Creatures
    1. American Folklore Creatures 1 1. Abbagoochie >The abbagoochie (pronounced abba-GOO-cheez) is a fierce little creature resembling a cross between an owl, a fox, and a deer. It is indigenous to Costa Rica, where people refer to it as a "dryland piranha" because it will eat anything, including creatures far larger than itself such as horses and cows. If cornered, an abbagoochie will consume itself "in a devilish whirlwind" rather than allow itself to be captured. They mate only once every 6 ½ years. 2. The Alkali Monster >This gargantuan, mono-horned, foul smelling, reptilian beast is reputed to lurk in the depths of Nebraska’s famed Alkali Lake, devouring all who come near it. Located in central Nebraska, Walgren Lake (formerly known as Alkali Lake) is an eroded volcanic outcropping that is reputed to be the nesting place of one of the most unusual lake monsters ever recorded and, if the legends are true, the habitat of the only aquatic monster ever reported in the state of Nebraska. Originally chronicled in Native American folklore, this creature has been described as a gargantuan alligator-like beast with some unique attributes. Eyewitnesses claim that the beast is approximately 40-feet long, with rough, grayish-brown skin and a horny outgrowth located between its eyes and nostrils. 3. The Altamaha-ha >Local legend reports a 20-foot-long water serpent that dwarfs the size of alligators in the region. It lives where the Altahama River dumps into the Atlantic Ocean, and thus a host of very real sea creatures have been suggested as explanations for the beast.

  • Will-Am-Alone >The Will-Am-Alone Is a Quick Little Animal, Like a Squirrel
    Will-am-alone >The Will-am-alone is a quick little animal, like a squirrel, that rolls in its fingers in poison-lichens into balls and drops them into the ears and on the eyelids of sleeping men in the camp, causing them to have strange dreams and headaches and to see unusual objects in the snow. It is the hardest drinkers in the camp who are said to be most easily and most often affected by the poison. Can be fatal when mixed with those liquors made in prohibition states Side-hill winder >More odd than this animal is the side-hill winder, a rabbit-like creature so called because he winds about the steep hills in only one direction; and in order that his back may be kept level, the down-hill legs are longer than the uphill pair. He is seldom caught; but the way to kill him is to head him off with dogs when he is corkscrewing up a mountain. As the winder turns, his long legs come up on the uphill side and tip him over, an easy prey. His fat is the cure for diseases caused by will-am-alone, but to eat its flesh is to die a hard and sudden death. Ding-ball >much to be dreaded is the ding-ball, a panther whose last tail-joint is ball shaped and bare of flesh. With this weapon it cracks its victim's skull. There is no record of a survival from the blow of a ding-ball. In older traditions it sang with the voice of a human, thus luring the incautious from their cabins to have their sconces broken in the dark.

  • Man and Beast in American Comic Legena • PART~
    rson, n and ornic Man and Beast in American Comic Legena • PART~ American Legendary Creatures All the peoples of the world take seriously certain legendary crea­ tures of a lower mythology with whom they associate on familiar terms. All, that is, save the people of the United States. Alexander H. Krappe once asserted that America possessed no folklore. What he should have said was that some of America's folklore differs from that of the rest of the world. As examples of creatures of legend intimately bound with the culture, the lives, the psyche of a people, consider the fairies of Ireland, the kappa of Japan, and the jinn of Egypt. In common they possess supernatural powers; their existence is credited by a sub­ stantial sector o.f the national population; and their attributes are known to all in their land. The popular and the literary as well as the folk culture pay them tribute. They occupy only their own pa­ tria. (I once asked Sean O'Sullivan why the Irish in the United States do not sight fairies, and he opined that it was probably be­ cause the circles of greensward known as fairy rings on the Ould Sod did not appear in America.) These figures, in their various forms, live among their chosen folk, enter their homes, marry them on occasion, lurk in their gardens, fields, and streams, and transport them to other places.
