That nasty poaching business behind them, Mark and Rusty are back on the road, and so that the only thing Rusty remembers from their fishing/camping/photography trip is not the fact that there were poachers and that Sassy was almost eaten by an alligator, Mark decides to take the long way home and give Rusty a chance to see the ocean. They are also apparently bringing home a few guests considering how excited that pelican is to tell Cherry and Doc about the poachers (even though it wasn't even there) and how willing the flea on its wing is to let it tell all of the gory details. Who knows, maybe the Jack Elrod Ball is relating the entire story as it rides along on the pelican's wing. But there could be trouble brewing. While Mark and Rusty chit chat, something seems to have drawn Sassy's attention, and the poor, sweet little puppy doesn't seem to like what she's seeing one bit.

As Mark and Rusty cruise down the highway in that super cool station wagon, a pair of turtles or snakes or bugs or microscopic organisms finally reach the ocean and are amazed that the world has suddenly become a much, much bigger place. The pelican and the Jack Elrod Ball, meanwhile, having flown on ahead, are taking a little rest before they resume the journey back to Lost Forest, but will they even make it? Trouble appears to be on the horizon as a bush yells out a warning to Mark as he drives by, causing the intrepid woodsman to gasp in shock and horror. Whatever could he be seeing? An alien invasion force? A forest fire? A car wreck? A line of ducklings or baby turtles trying to cross the road? A new Cracker Barrel? I, for one, can't wait to find out.
