October’s answer: This map of the U.S. in stones is located on Worth Street, one block west of U.S. Highway 431 across from the Historic Post Office in Guntersville in Marshall County. It has been fenced to prevent destruction; however, it can be viewed from the sidewalk or the street on Worth Street. (Photo submitted by Susan Lynn Allen of North Alabama EC.)

The Mob Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada, made a fun backdrop for this photo of Keith and Delinda Cain of Arab. The museum’s official name is the National Museum of Organized Crime & Law Enforcement.
Find the hidden dingbat! Many of our readers thought we were pretty sneaky hiding the October dingbat, a black cat, where we did. The cat replaced the letter “b” in Alabama at the top of Page 25. “I found that sneaky critter on my fourth round of searching the magazine,” wrote Mary S. Hutto of Shorterville, a member of Pea River Electric Cooperative. “Sly little devil! Sad to say, but he crossed my path three times before I found him! Oh, no!” Robert and Joyce Norman of Alpine, members of Coosa Valley EC, said they almost thought they saw the cat perched on top of the pumpkin truck on Page 9, until they keep looking and found it on Page 25. Laurie Vines of Rockford said she was reading the events calendar on that page when she “had the strange feeling someone was watching me! As my eyes scanned to the top of the page to look up…lo and behold, there it was! A something, not a someone, peering at me! It was a black cat named DINGBAT!” Robert and Dawn Smith of Hanceville, members of Cullman EC, said the dingbat looks like their cat Squeaky. And Central Alabama EC member Robin Nelson of Wetumpka said the cat reminded her of the sweet black cat, appropriately named Bama, she had as a girl growing up on Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. “Thanks for the trip through time this month,” she wrote. Congratulations to Charles Urban of Decatur, a member of Joe Wheeler EMC, our winner this month who won a prize package from Alabama Rural Electric Credit Union. For November, we’ve hidden a scarecrow, but don’t be scared when you find it! Entries are due by Nov. 8.
