    @carol_mcclain Would you like a half a million dollars? I would. Fixated on Discovery’s Alone, I root for my favorite contestants.

When asked to leave by the pastor, they refused. Their intention is to leave their oversized vehicles in front of the church and thus avoid storage fees, camping fees, water and sewage fees.
