liegolanceshowdownAll because of a little TWEET TWEET Queen K endured a little rumble on the rock. I’m talking they passed cars, sounded like a train, and scared even the whales further out to sea.

He supports one of our local canoe clubs so we love him, he keeps the boys in the water. Most the town showed up in Lance shirts and so did the canoe boys, on Trek bikes of course.
