Hmm. I know a couple of people in your area. I'd be happy to give you names, as long as you don't give them mine. ;) What kind of job stole you up there? Hopefully a good one to compensate for the cost of living. :)
Hmm. Shall I post a picture of the bruises I walked away with after Spydey took me fishing on a creek with the biggest ass boulders I've ever had to wade over and around? A little leg flash to unite the troops?
Woohoo! I've always wanted to float and fish the Clack. I have a single-person river kayak, but I've been advised against multitasking on that particular river in a kayak. As for your wife's dismay...you're not starting over, you're upgrading. If all else fails, throw "A River Runs Through It"...
