Clint, I'm with you homey. I grew up with two brothers as well, and I miss them more than anybody I left back east. They are actually in Florida, and I really have not spent regular time with them since 1998, which totally sucks.
Anyway, yeah, canoeing, camping, etc etc. Its gonna happen this summer. Its getting warmer, and I am almost done with the house BS (by the way, you free for about 3 hours on March 29th? - I gotta move the big stuff and could use an extra pair of hands!).
I have been looking at the Auburn Recreation Area also (about an 1.5 hours west of Reno off I-80) as another possible camping spot I would like to peep. I am still 100% planning on the April trip down to the Mammoth/Mono area.
I also want to go shooting again soon, email me...
Damn, I am a little stressed about the move. I gotta go to bed.
Bart
