At 4:55 AM on a moonless July morning, he could see
the coastal silhouette of Ogunquit (Algonquin for"Beautiful
Place by the Sea") coming into view.
What a GENIUS set-up they had!!
Load a fishing trawler in Key Largo.
Work your way slowly and unnoticed up the Inter-Coastal.
Unload in Maine.........MAINE???
(Chuckles to himself.......)
.
.
Uh Oh...I can hear a Glenn Frey song in the background...
"It's a losing proposition,
but one you can't refuse.
It's the politics of contraband,
it's the smugglers blues"!!!
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55
Please come tell The G-Man...
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment......Then BOOK!!
So from the most clandestine host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick Ass Week-End!!!

Southern Discomfort
Key Largo to Maine--what a trip! The human's 55 is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/wearing-o-the-green/
Brian, Ted Nugent, I think? :)
Yes indeed Kiddies.
The Motor City Madman...Terrible Ted Nugent!
I believe the songs about Dialing O on the Pink Telephone....:-)
Maine always makes me think of Stephen King. Creepy but interesting, in a "No, thanks, I'll stay here in Michigan" kind of way.
Thanks for another Friday 55!
Mine's here. :)
Fun work, good write.
Thanks again. =)
Here's mine.
Well them folks in Maine had a good time I'm sure...
The monkey

Why thank you Miss Begotten, I'll input that in my database...:-)
Great G-man I'm getting ready to go to bed and now I have the "Smuggler's Blues" running through my head! Liked your 55, and hoping you have a great weekend! My 55 is up!
'..Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr. Customs Man...'oops--wrong coast, wrong artist--same principle, though.
My mind has been playing in the cereal this week--more whole graininess from me here:
Wheatfield
aw man...I know how this story ends
"and now for our top story"...a 55 from 77'
Peace, hp
my 55

i'm here...and then i'll be gone....
Well, it wouldn't be the most bizarre thing a smuggler tried. Still, a bit like taking coal to Newcastle...
I'm in here.
Love that photo..!! The words too.
lost in a maze
I don't get it
Pole dancers
That's how most people end up in Maine (accidentally). Just kidding!
A mother's pessimism is described in my 55.
It all sounds so intriguing, Galen. And a wee bit dangerous, too. The sounds of the 80's. :)
My 55: The End
Mine is up too, believe it or not.
Have a wicked weekend!
Key Largo to Maine is quite a way, isn't it?
You'll find mine here.
Nothing wrong with Maine. Just a very long way from Key Largo!

I love the names of cities you mention here !!
Good lines in theend of post :)
My try for this week is here : Biscuits
Traveling the extremes for a fun time.

I have a You-Tube clip of my son singing. He wasn't born in Michigan, but we lived in Petoskey for 7 years and go back in the summer for a stint...

Someone is Special
I've been to Maine - it was okay - a nice place to visit kinda thing.
I started working on a 55 this week, but then it grew into a 66 - then it became a 99 - so I just decided to let it grow and posted the end product - all 193 words of it!
Ha! You are a card Mr G. I am in here
Hello,
I wrote one and did not post it until now, I believe that you deserve a tickle...
Here is my original 55:You, She I, Thanks for reading!
Happy Weekend....
Oooh... I smell somethin' fishy here, G-Man.. ;-)
Going unnoticed is the "key"!!
My 55's up... here
We are planning on checking out Maine for Summer Vacation...;)
Hope to see you before midnight!
Galen: I haven't forgotten you! I'm going through some rough personal times right now. Only have access to the computer off and on again. Tough times. But hope eventually to write some. Best as always. D
I've always wanted to visit Maine...
I'm tardy, but I did play. Happy Friday, Galen!
