Hey you dont happen to live off 191 do you? Theres a dude that has a Hmmwv under a shed like your right off 191.

I have a camp in Toledo Bend down by Kites landing and when I hop on 191 and head towards Hwy 6 I always pass this persons house.

Just before that there is a guy that also likes off of 191 that has a wrecker and some other vehicles out in his pasture.
