Hi kids, I'm Wally the Woodchuck. I live here at Dolly Sods.

The danger ZONE is anywhere you find UXO.
What are UXO? UneXploded Ordnance

All UXO are dangerous!
During World War II the United States Army used Dolly Sods for target practice.
Some of the ammunition, mortar shells, and other UXO are still IN the ground.
I would like you to learn the three important rules of UXO safety.
If you learn what to do, you can keep friends, family, and yourself safe on your visit here.
UXO can be found in many shapes and sizes. UXO can be new or old, shiny or rusty, clean or dirty.
