anyone got any fun places you like to visit for vacation? Was thinking about Peacock Bass fishing in florida but thats prolly not gonna work out. last year we took the boat and stayed at a VRBO on cedar creek. Was OK. Just OK. Two years before stayed in a VRBO on the white river and hired a guide. Great time, Been twice now. Looking for something different. Any ideas?
Life journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved state. But rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy carp what a ride!"

Close by/relatively close by?
Broken Bow is a beautiful lake, or Lake Hamilton in AR near Hot Springs.

Texoma. Might be able to hook up with a Striper guide up there, one of my favorite “local” lakes.

Ruidoso NM if you need to drive.

Every person should at least try and go Tarpon fishing around the Rat's Mouth area.

Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

I imagine PK looks like chocolate milk right now, but there's some nice places to VRBO off 2951 and you've got boat ramps and places to eat and drink pretty close if you're not wanting to cook.
We've been going up to Table Rock/Bull Shoals once a year for probably the past 8 or so years to visit my wife's cousin's family. We usually rent a house on the lake and the kids run around and swim. This year some friends are also coming so we're staying at some Marina/Condo. We rent a pontoon, I pulled a bass boat up there once and vowed to never pull another boat around that part of the country if I can help it.
The same friends and us have been throwing around doing something at Lake Murray, but haven't pulled the trigger. Another really nice lake not too far away.

I think everyone should go visit Yellowstone once in their life. When you enter there it seems you have entered into another world. Some of the sites there are breath-taken.
