Sioux Falls on the eastern edge, Rapid City on the western… I was thrown for a moment by the mountain range in the background of panel two, but reminded myself where we are. But wait… isn’t Mark Trail going to the airport too? Probably flying into Rapid City Regional airport (RAP) through Minneapolis (MSP) from Atlanta (ATL) close to Lost Forest, which is near Sandy Springs, GA. Although the Rapid City skyline, in reality, is not quite as majestic as what is being drawn here…

Judging by its size and scope, something tells me that the Rapid City Regional Airport does not use the latest in Facial Recognition software or anti-terrorism measures… So as dawn breaks on our bad guys, and points are made using “stick-up fingers” for emphasis, we are left to wonder where this is all going…
all that’s missing at the end of Villain one or two’s last sentence is the classic
evil laugh….mWahahahaha…..

I dunno about this guy’s thinking. Aren’t airports, train depots, and bus terminals the FIRST places police and feds look?

Dennis, you reference the “Lost Forest” preserve in Georgia, which is where Dodd lived. But I think the comic strip’s Lost Forest is out west, somewhere around Wyoming, perhaps?

Nope. Sandy Springs GA, near the Chattahoochee river. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Trail
