Some people may wonder about the story behind Level B so read below see how/where it started and came to fruition...

It so happens that Jeremy Puck and his wife, both lived along Level B mud roads while growing up.
Jeremy, at 1110 100th Street in Audubon County with his parents Ben and Kathy (Willenborg) Puck.
His wife, Melissa, grew up with her parents Steve & Kathy Pfannkuch at 33091 Concord Avenue in Carroll County, which was the former Hugo & Eunice (Grau) Ahrendsen farm - who were my aunt and uncle.

Now if you grew up in Manning during the 1950s through early 2000 you were familiar with the meeting places out in the country which were the Level B and mostly mud roads such as Grassy, Roller Coaster, Bridge, B & F, Beer Can Hill, Skunk, Trojan, and I'm sure there are several more.

If you can think of more mud road names and also would like to submit some "fun" but G rated stories about your escapades on any of these mud roads, please e-mail me.

I'm hoping to take someone my age along with me sometime to find all of these roads and get the signage so they will be documented for our history.
