  • Fun

    I enjoy the stories a lot, but I don’t really like to listen to the conversations with Mandi. (Sorry 🙁I know you’re friends) The stories you narrate are what I love to listen to.

We actually have a couple roads nicknamed red dog road and they’re all mining roads in different parts of the county. The lights are ATV lights from people on the mountain who ride all night.
