The Nelson family treated me as a family member. They took me everywhere in the bronco all over going for rides into the mountains. Brent always made me feel as his own. He once too the family to the mountains and we built ice caves. I have many many great memories of this family. Thank you sir for all the great memories. Keep fishin my friend.
