Photo of an M-29 Weasel taken from a World War II poster. Original caption: "This is the winter version of the Weasel, a new and amazingly versatile carrier that is equally at home in snow, mud and water. The Army needs these vehicles to carry troops, supplies, weapons and casualties over terrain impassable to wheeled conveyances. Your bond and stamp purchases will help buy them at $4,815 each delivered to the fighting fronts."

Good work there McBain - maybe a tune about snowy conditions and confiscated vehicles is appropriate?

At the moment however, armed vehicles similar to these were spotted by the party just north of Townsend, Montana, bearing the black star and wreath of the SeaOrg..
