Nate Jessen 10/15/2018 12:28 PMTaking a walk on a warm Fall day is way better than driving...unless you have to go really far...then take your bike. If you don't have a bike maybe you can find a friend who needs to go to Post Falls and you guys can car pool. -

Nate Jessen 10/10/2018 7:17 AMOne thing that I learned from GI Joe was that "You'll never learn without trying and never win if you give in." So don't be afraid to try a new challenge and give it your all.
