Hey, Brent, sorry to hop onto your message, but I too am
having trouble with settling on location for our upcoming 10
day vacation ... just me and my two five year olds.  We need
a lake!  We were going and still may go into the John Mir
Wildnerness up around Lake Edison,  but they just got over 2
1/2 feet of snow last week!  It's up over 7000 feet.  We
leave next week.

My little boy has his heart set on canoeing, too.  Can any
one reccommend a lake anywhere in California that is a
natrual lake in the mountains, serene, not crowed, where you
possibly can rent canoes not too far away, and where you can
rent horses, too (my little girl insists).

Didn't think so...oh well, if you think of anything close,
please let me know...you can p-mail me if it's a secret
location...clues are good enough!
thanks,
steve
