Then we took a mosey down to the back side of folsom via the trail

Bear crawls and Pony boy came by like a wild Cheeta who knew he could move like that.

onto some dips Derkins and step ups. way up at the top Ball field I believe Life Alert asked how many ball fields were at Folsom and Pony Boy quickly says “seven ” then laughs cause it is only two.

Route 66 with some Latners or what is the name oh yeah Bobby Hurleys.

Next we did some (Total recall) Triple Nipple/Nickle the debate was as always how many do we do here?..
