Plus its my "Backyard" Bob I hope were talkin North shore?? Pleeeese  

Tom,
We are actually going to be at the South Shore. I was able to convince my wife's family to go to LSAR instead of camping for 5 days in Yosemite in the middle of July . There is going to be a shitload of us.(she has a big family). I am counting on you guys bringing up a couple of your hot rods for me to play with . Cant wait! By the way.....2 weeks until Parker everybody. Get your shit together.

P.S. Glad you love your boat Skip

Raplh,
The AVI I think is closer. San Antonio is above Paso Robles off the 101. It takes me 5 hours or so from the OC. Its a great lake for the kind of boats most of us have. Not too big and not too busy. Great place for the family. For me its worth the drive

Long Beach to San Antonio is 264 miles per google maps
Long Beach to AVI is 280 miles per google maps

I've been wrong once or twice before
