Total and complete bad assery.
Love this thread. Lots of knowledgeable people. Good luck, crazy Floridian. ;)
Big Frog can get wild.
This is why I'm here.
I know I'm late on this, and I rarely post anymore on this forum (always lurking), but I had to break the silence when I read this post. Selfish selfish selfish.
I bet you're great company on the trail.
