Closest water to me is where I went today, about 6 miles each way,and another lake about 10 more miles from that. Then Stockton lake is about 35-50 miles each way...Momma's big adventure is on the road. She changed companies two weeks ago, and now gone 3-6 weeks at a time. But it's what she wants soooo! But if she gets the kinda miles her boy does it will be worth it in the long run...
