Is that whole conversation/thread on there "For Real"?
I'm torn between thinking that a couple of those posts HAVE to be trolls OR
someone really does mean what they've posted which is even more head
shaking.
Someone posted:
"How do you know who to talk to for a Vacant unused lot? "
A Vacant lot -- now THAT sounds like a place I'd like to see while on
vacation. If we're lucky, as a bonus there might be left over meth lab
onsite too. WOW .. let's pack up and go to THAT.
Although, now that I think about it, last summer we found a nice little
crack stash while doing the typical hide-under-a footbridge cache in South
Dakota.
Don't things like this just make everyone appreciate SLAGA all the more?
