[AT] And Now For Something Different - A Tractor Problem

[charlie hill]

Heck Gerald,  all you've got is one lane horse paths with no shoulders, a 
mountain on one side and a 500 foot drop on the other and no fire hydrants, 
what do you need reflector for?  LOL

For those that don't know much about NC.  All of the good roads run from 
Raleigh to the mountain ski resorts or from Raleigh to the beaches.  If you 
want to get anywhere else you have to go somewhere else first.  Does that 
make sense?  LOL
