Dino-opolis Dust Storm

Dino-opolis recently experienced its first dust storm ever. No one knows much about it, because it struck in the middle of the night, while all the dinos were supposed to be sleeping.

One dino, staying up late to observe the stars, gives us this account. "I heard a loud rumbling noise coming from the north. I looked in that direction and it looked like the stars were going out. Then I felt the wind coming up and realized it was a dust storm. I ran for cover as I felt pebbles and dust stinging my back. I ran to my house and took shelter there. After the dust storm I got these photos, before the wind blew the dust away."

Farm Business

These photos show two of the many flourishing farms in the Dino-opolis hill country. We're lucky to have experienced farmers that grow and sell crops in Dino-opolis.















Above, you see Jan's farm. He visits from Dino-ville. His farm is doing very well!
















This shows Pterodactyl Wyatt's farm. It is especially unique because Pterodactyl Wyatt is not just growing moss, he's also growing grass and snowdrops, as well as another plant that has sprung up in his farm, uninvited. Pterodactyl Wyatt has evaluated this volunteer plant and declared it good, because it smells good - minty.

Dino-opolis Hospital

This photo, taken from Pterodactyl Wyatt's helicopter "Firefly", shows an aerial view of the new Dino-opolis Hospital.















This photo shows the hospital's garage. You can see the car, truck, and ambulance on the left. Looking to the right, you see the paramedics with a stretcher.















Here you see part of our elite fire-fighting crew. They're doing drills.















So far, the firefighters have put out two fires and transported one unlucky victim of a boating accident to the hospital. The boater has recovered.

Spring Flooding

This picture was taken from our Dino-opolis News Chopper. Ahhhhh - you thought this was ancient times? Think again. These are modern times dinos. We have airplanes, cars, helicopters, boats, and nuclear weapons! But I'm not going to tell you Dino-opolis' history, because I'm here to tell you the news.

As you can see, the snow has long since melted, but has left large amounts of water in the lake... larger amounts than we want. It would've flooded Dino-opolis if we hadn't let it flood into the marketplace, which is fine now.

The picture below was taken from a place normally 10 dino-feet above Dino-opolis lake level. The photographer was standing on the edge of the flooded lake, though it appears to be taken from a boat.


You can see across the lake to a house that is nearly flooded. To the right you see a boat almost level with the edge of another concrete block - which just happens to be Pterodactyl Wyatt's house... mine!

* New land has been discovered!

This new land, to the east of Dino-opolis, over the Green Mountains, has been discovered by Pterodactyl Wyatt and Allosaurus Tate. We hope to send a clean-up crew to begin tidying the area for future colonization.

Wyatt says, "This may not be a permanent settlement, but it could be a prime location for summer homes."


* New House on the River

A group of dinos, combined their houses to form one huge mansion, suspended over the river near Delta City. Watch for a future post by Gunnar for more details and information.

All the snow has melted!
Right now Dino-opolis is free of snow. But not free of melting slushy mud. Dinosaurs hate mud. (Really?) Really, they do.

Crisis in Dino-opolis!
It all started on a fishing trip on the lake. Pterodactyl Wyatt was out one morning fishing, when Allosaurus Tate's band of soldiers came in and accidentally bonked his boat away from the fish. Pterodactyl Wyatt thought they were doing it on purpose, so he immediately pulled out his machine gun and started spraying them with bullets! The men that were left, in Allosaurus Tate's band of soldiers, reported this to Tate. Tate handled it well, but two of his dinos did not. They tried to attack Pterodactyl Wyatt and were shot in trying to do so. Now, Tate is considering blowing Wyatt to kingdom come.

What will happen next? Find out in the next edition of the Daily Dino News!

Daily Dino, Classifieds, Real Estate

In response to a great suggestion by one of our Dino-opolis friends, we are posting these fine pieces of Real Estate for sale. We're hoping that some of our Dino-opolis friends will want to 'guest post' in the near future.


1. This lovely piece of river-front property has not been claimed yet. If you want a nice summer home, this is the place to buy! Right on the river-bank, but quite close to tropical Delta City.









2. Another piece of prime river-front property. Not quite as tropical as Site 1, but a little larger. Good dirt for planting, and it is right next to the race-track... you won't even need tickets to watch the races!

* Tate Has Been Re-ranked

After being de-ranked for suspicious actions, Tate has been re-ranked to Commander of the Army.


* More Flooding

The force of the melted river, which has been frozen for several days, has flooded Delta City! Mayor Dino Rosie has the situation under control.
