Don't Let Carl STUMP You !

Carl has always been a curious young lad. You can find him wandering around just about anywhere. Just last week, his caretaker Mrs. Smickleton, found him napping in an abandoned coal mine. He is particularly found of small dark spaces and has a love for exploring trees. Some say his favorite hideaway is an old tree house nestled away deep in the forest. Two days have now passed by, and there has been no sign of Carl.  Mrs. Smickleton says its not unusual for Carl to venture off, however it is unusual for him to not return home to his nightly feast of Sardines and Milk.  

Mrs. Smickleton is now worried sick about Carl. You see these two have known each other for over 15 years, and 2 nights away from one another is simply an eternity. His caretaker has called upon the community and is asking for any clues that may lead her to finding Carl. Petunia Peabody reported she spotted footprints when she was walking her dog “Frizzle” alongside the South River Campground Parking Lot.

We need your help to bring Carl home and reunite him with his family.
