Sorry it took so long to reply.
Grew up primarily in San Bernardino County. Went to High School in Alta Loma in the days of Volunteer fire departments and waving to all other vehicle because you must know them. Spent some periods living in San Diego area and still other time working and living on the Long Range boats.
Moved eastward as the crowds moved east I couldn't handle it. Finally ended up in Yucaipa with a commute to Azusa every day. Besides fishing I was involved in Mountain Search and Rescue and other Mountain related volunteer groups but the commute and a company fighting battles to stay in business was taking its toll.
Finally we decided if we were going to move, lets get out of the rat race and that is what we have done. We live in the woods in an area surrounded by lakes. Living towards the end of a mile long dirt road with only with only half a dozen residences can present its challenges but it also has some very positive sides.
For the most part the ground stays covered with snow and the lakes frozen from the end of November till mid to late April but that gives plenty of time to catch up on indoor projects that were neglected when the water wasn't frozen and fishing was the priority. Also the cozy comfort of a wood stove is nice and relaxing when it is time for that.
Some excellent Small Mouth Bass fishing around here.
Made it down not quite as far as you last fall and fished the TKAA Tournament in Norfolk...had an absolute blast and caught the first red fish I have ever gotten. A few nice ones. Stay in touch. My email is NHExplorer @ comcast.net
If your every around get in touch.

PS - seems weird to see a lifetime wrapped up in a few paragraphs but there are volumes of stories in between.
