too . . . a couple short trips to VA, a week in the Sierra Nevadas in
CA, and as many day trips and overnighters in PA as possible.


where you going in ArnoldLand? ( don't be too specific ... east side/ west
north/ south ;-)

My grandfather took me fishing for the first time when I was about 6 on the
Rappahannick ( sp probably way off ) or somehing like that near Warrenton,
VA ... your screen name always brings back that memory .... it's a good
memory, please post more often G


Larry L ( granddad had lost one arm and I remember my mother being terrified
I'd fall out of the boat and he'd not be able to save me and arguing with my
father about letting me go ... I'm very glad she didn't prevail in th e
argument ......... I also remember the wonderful taste of the little
bluegill ( something small ) we brought home and grandmother fried up
breaded in corn meal, and the powerful ego inflating sense of 'providing
dinner' via the manly arts of the angler .... thanks again rapidan ;-)
