The Medallion I have searched the Earth for Mankind's birth Stumbled across some petrified wood in the southeast Inside was a medallion carved with strange markings An inscription that said, we came in peace 1/4/17 contest Rooting for 8 to 5

Very inventive, Frederic!!! Best of luck in this fun contest and thanks for what you said about me and Pleasant Grove! I do like the place but I just miss not having my sisters around.
