Comin down the mountain - July 27, 2007

Boondock Billies on the loose and spotted back in Southern Illinois, after a nice trip out to Wyoming and Colorado. Didn't get bit by rattle snakes, an didn't break too many guitar strings.
We got to meet some great people up on Casper mountain, including the incredible
