A hippie at heart, Jingles loved to design clothes and decorate them with embroidery and beadwork. She also made batik and sold her creations at art fairs and festivals.

When Jingles was 15 she left home to live in an old mansion on the river that had been turned into a biker clubhouse. She kept it clean and stocked with food and beer in exchange for free rent. The bikers considered her their little sister.

Once a biker named Sparks showed her how, Jingles began growing marijuana in one of the mansion’s open rooms. An electrician by trade, Sparks installed special lights and timers which elevated the quality of Jingles’ pot. Jingles always preferred smoking pot to drinking. At night, she tended bar at a local tavern. That’s where she met Mountain.
