To do that, you must go back much further than Mike did, to where the trouble really began. #4 The campfire legacy lives on today. Even if you’ve never taken a single step past the city limits, you’ve experienced what lighting a few candles can do for the mood. Good storytellers are more attractive to potential mates and even have healthier offspring.
