YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

The first 3 pics Logan posted were taken at Whispering Pines Hideaway where we went wheeling. These were from a NECO #3. You were in the hospital for that NECO. The 4th pic was taken at Paragon adventure Park and the Silverado in front is Matt (OcP). And you knew where the last pic was taken! =D> These were taken at a late summer camping trip to PA right after doing the SAS.
