 		I noticed the 2:115 also`and thought that perhaps it was supposed to be 21:15 (since whomever was writing them down was using military time).

Only thing I could figure? Wink

 		Thats odd but @Xeno it says 12:115, so i dont think its military time. Might be a mistake i guess?

Tried finding something here http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=24498

but the pic wasn't good enough to zoom in.


Heres an upgraded version of both the pictures
btw it was already discovered that the dogs went missing on the 22nd of June 79.


Actually there are a few that have a date of 21 June.


Jon Bly(?) 6/21 next to Bellbrook
Buck 6/21 just to the SE of Dayton (No Last Name)
"Billy" Fry(?) 6/21 NW of Fort McKinley (Odd there are "quotes" around the name Billy)

I still think the dates are noted as the date the dog was found. I guess if they were trying to calculate the time it took for them to travel a distance then they would mark the date they went missing. Just seems to me that they would mark the found location with the date they were found. Just my initial feeling ya know?

You're right, the further these dogs are the greater the date. If we had the distance of this map and when the earliest dog left. We could estimate when these dogs started leaving

 		Watching the trailer to the Super 8 movie it shows Lillian just north of West Alexandria right off of 35. I live just 20 minutes from there...I feel like going out there and seeing if I can find something. Razz

 		Hey, I live in "Lillian" which is actually called NEW LEBANON.
The town has no rail road tracks. Never did.
In The movie, it looks more like downtown West Carrolton (20 min away)...which would make more sense cause there are alot of rail road tracks that have been there forever.

 		Visiting The Real Lillian - Weirton, W.Va.
Hello from Weirton, WV! As you may know, our town (and surrounding areas) was used as the principal location for the West Virginia portion of the filming.

Our local museum director and our state film office have worked together to produce a brochure guiding visitors to the locations used, many of which still look as they did during filming.

We're just a short drive from Pittsburgh, PA and would love to have all fans of this wonderful film come and visit us.

Cheers,

OWM

 		Thanks so much for posting, OWM! Any chance of getting that brochure in a downloadable PDF or available for larger viewing?

Thanks so much! Plan on trying to get up there to see the locations as soon as possible!

 		I don't see Dr. Woodward's grave marker behind the toolshed at the graveyard on the brochure. I think you should add it. Wink

OWM -
The Top of WV Super 8 brochure has some great pictures from the movie shoot and set. But I don't think we're doing a service to the area by saying that many of the locations still look like they do in the brochure or movie. It's misleading. A lot of the signs have been removed. A couple of the businesses that have returned to normal aren't family type businesses. One of the buildings has been remodeled and another is no longer with us. Water tower – what water tower?

Can a person come to Weirton and the surrounding area looking for a Super 8 connected visit? Sure. Take the brochure and the tour and compare and reminisce about the movie. Visit the Weirton Area Museum and Cultural Center, which has some movie connected memorabilia and other interesting local relics. I would love to see a boost in the local economy through tourism, but we need to be careful. The set locations certainly are recognizable, but if we pull a bait and switch by telling potential tourists that many of the locations look the same – when they come here and see something different, it'll hurt the local tourism industry in the long run.

no. I was thinking it wouldn't hurt tourism if they were to just add a grave marker for us arg fans to visit even if it isn't official.
