Welcome to the Country....So you’ve decided to move to the country where kids find they need to be creative to find entertainment" ~by Charity Maness

After wiping the 'kid in a candy store' look from my face I attempted to adopt the appearance of a seasoned journalist but was quickly detected as a newbie. The riders, however, took me under their wing and explained in layman's terms a Poker Run.....
