Sorry again! I don't know if I thought it was just "tagged" or what because it had 121 tagged adventure. I think I just was doing too much at once; however, in my defense, I have literally (for sure) seen some things with an MPG and when I look later it's not on the MPG anymore, so not sure if it changes up or what. But Jenny chose another category for us. Thanks. :)
