ALABAMA-Flomaton and Jay,Al.- / Between these two towns on the Jay pipeline five truck loads of workers saw a Skunk
Ape and went to get their guns when they returned the creature was gone. (I'm not sure if it was five truck loads of
workers or a truck load of five workers, which makes better sense as they went back for guns. I don't think five trucks
would do that.) This was reported in Walton Playground News.)
