Cody JosephHOST
If you've never taken that drive, I would recommend it.
Jeff HarmatzHOST
In all seriousness, the way you have described it over the last few days and including today, it reminds me of the drive going from Landers to Big Bear, if you've done that drive.
Jeff HarmatzHOST

Lou PenroseHOST
Get up the Big Bear at 10 o'clock at night, go to bed, wake up Sunday morning, got to come home, got to go to work on Monday.

Matt WietrichHOST
So tell us a little bit about that path because I'm excited for other folks to hear about how maybe they can get involved and what that looked like for you.

That's me.
