Merlo texted me a picture from Sparta. Dressed in all white. Except for the White Flyer Hat.
My email says merlo is in Springfield, IL “Bid Buy” ……. Whatever that means. Said, “this trip is for the vendors”.
My email says merlo is in Randolph, County IL. Lions, tigers, and bears!
My friend Merlo left me a note that he will be in Springfield, IL for a few days. Just a heads up.
Hey FG! Did I see you sloshing in the mud? I saw the americantrapshooter.com blazer.
Has anyone seen Merlo at Linn Creek?
Does anyone know if Merlo has been in Ecuador? Will they grab Merlo too?
My email said "cheater at the CC? Off to Sparta. Better than the Shaeffer incident" I am hoping Merlo posts soon.
Not sure if this is true. News please.
I have it from a very reliable source that Merlo left Illinois and is headed to Elysburg. Look for a very old motorhome that is on loan.
