    Back and ready to puff!

    Thanks guys. They got me based in GA. It’s kinda sad that I miss Ft Lost in the woods... this place would be great if my knee wasn’t all messed up. The fishing here looks awesome! Kinda ironic but bogus, that I bought a 2yr fishing license, and then my knee messed up the next day.

    B&M’s in Fort Leonard Wood MO...???

    Didn’t really know where to post this one but here goes... does anyone know of any b&m’s in/near Fort Leonard Wood MO?
