1) When Gardner wakes up after his 8 day blackout, he wakes up at Acadia Beach,
NH and can see the Acadia Beach Funwolrd on the other side of the beach. There
is also a young boy on the beach named Jack.
Book 1, Chp 6, pg 115-128 (Berkley paperback ed.)
Link to The Talisman
2) The ship is found in "Big Injun Woods"/Buring Woods which is the same
woods that the micmac burying ground is in. There is actually more connection
between the two in this part of the book.

Link to Pet Semetary
(I found this one especiialy interesting)

Tommy hallucinates a clown with "shiny silver dollars for eyes and a clenched
white glove filled with balloons" underneath a sewer grate.
Book 2, Chp 10, Sect 14, pg 510 (Berkley paperback ed.)

4) The "Feds" take the air machine to the Shop. "This installation had once
been burned to the ground by a child".

The one that struck me as I was reading over my lunch break was that one of the power plants
that Gardener was railing against was the Arrowhead project up in Maine. Wasn't the Arrowhead
project the source of the mist in the story "The Mist"?
I also just finished reading _It_ and noticed that Shawshank was mentioned in there; Eddie
Corcoran's father was sentenced to Shawshank for the murder of his stepson Danny.

Uh, sorry,everyone, but I wrote this! By mistake, I forgot
to change the name/email address under Preferences, so the
other name came up. I can honestly say this because the
previous handle/address belong to a friend of mine who is
not a Stephen King fan. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

I just read The Mist. You are write. After a storm, a Mist full of King's special
creatures destroys a vast fraction of Maine. But it says it's an experimental project,
not just a power plant. What was about it in Tommyknockers? I don't remember well
