    Bigfoot

    any thing is possible, Heaven & Hell is real to those who believe. My wife & I camped in some real creepy spots in the backcountry through out the years, heard some unexplained sounds @ night. You can not help to think if the unexplained is real or not.

    Solar Panel Open Discussion/Debate/Review

    1Louder, I recommend Renogy myself this is my 2nd go around with them. I am not upset, never was.

I had...
