Reward offered for Montana truck stop dinosaur


Recommended Posts

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) ? The folks at Hi-Noon Petroleum in Montana have a new way to turn a dinosaur into gasoline.

They?re offering a $250 gas card for information leading to the safe return of Dino, a 12-foot-long fiberglass Sinclair dinosaur that disappeared June 21 from the Crossroads Travel Center west of Missoula.

?We just wonder what happened to him,? Hi-Noon marketing manager Earl Allen said Friday. ?It?s a little odd for him to just walk away.?

The 6-foot tall green dinosaur sat on a hill overlooking Interstate 90 for at least five years, Allen said, with occasional appearances in University of Montana Homecoming parades.

?That was his home for a number of years,? Allen said.

Allen said taking the prehistoric icon would have been a bit of a project.

?It?s not like you can just throw him in the back of a pickup,? he said.

Anyone with information on Dino?s whereabouts is asked to call Hi-Noon.

Maybe he found greener pastures.
