Final Hours What would you want to do if you only had twenty four hours left to live. For my last twenty four hours, I would spend with my brothers; Bryce, Weston and Quinn, since we all love to go off-roading I would go buy jacked up mud racing trucks and tear up our favorite minimum maintenance roads around the outskirts of Humboldt.

I chose Bryce because his favorite thing to do is offroading, when he has spare time he goes outback behind our house and tears up the slough.…
