Finding the Captain

Join me on a 12 year journey to find a long lost muffler man deep in South Georgia. Fueled by an old picture and the mystery surrounding it, I set out to find the long lost giant. Meet the other people along that journey, each playing a crucial part of one of the greatest giant finds of all time!

    So glad you found the captain. I got chills when you came around that corner in the woods and caught first sight of him. It was like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie. Thanks for all your efforts to save him. I'm excited about being able to see this guy at the museum some day!

    In the future, you need something like a wide enough rickshaw to cart a giant on wheels through the woods. Dragging them out is no fun; on wheels is better.😀

    I agree, every time a city calls me and wants to buy a giant I roll my eyes. Essentially that means, do a ton of work for them only to have 12 people sit around a table and disagree with each other and take 8 months till they finally pull the plug. I'm done working with cities.
