MOLOSSIAN NAVY VOYAGES TO THE “MYSTERIOUS ISLAND”

On July 22nd, 2018, the Republic of Molossia’s Navy deployed one of their ships in Lake Tahoe, Nevada and California, the United States of America, for an island known as the “Mysterious” Island, on the north end of the lake near Lake Forest. The Molossian Navy had never explored that part of lake before, so this voyage was going to cover new waters. They arrived at 11 A.M. MST, soon after the Navy deployed into the water to get to the bushy atoll. But, it was discovered that there was an island behind the bushes, along with a tiny mangrove swamp. President Kevin Baugh and Chief Constable went to explore the island. They returned to Molossia happy.
