Re: found my goast town

well the info i gave was a little off...after doing some research thats not my town :'(...its an old river resort...but the good news is since i found it the info i got tells me my town is within a mile or two so im geting close to my goal.... ;D
 

Good luck, BCS. Talk to some hunters that live in the area. I bet one of them could lead you right to it. :)
