- Hello out there.
- I was just given a vacation from now until September 7, the school ran
- out of money to pay me so they call it vacation time!!
-
- I am looking for somewhere easy to get to to set up camp, swim and of
- course fish!!! I will have with me my wife and two children(3-1/2 and
- 1-1/2). Joshua, the older child loves to fish, the younger child,
- Justin, likes to splash about. Their mother, Christine, has yet to be
- convinced that fishing is not only fun but, for me anyway, the best way
- to relax!!! (note I said fishing, not catching) Joshua has to date
- caught ONE fish a 5 inch mackerel off of the town pier using his fully
- functional DuckTales 3 foot long rod and a closed face spinning reel.
-
- I had hoped to escape to the family homestead, a half insulated no
- running water, composting toilet installed, 3 floor A-frame cabin and
- 112 acres of land complete with babbling brook and an occasional deer
- or porcupine nibbling on the wooden foundation, which my parents own
- BUT, they decided that they would vacation there this very week!!!
-
- Normally this would be no problem, it's a big house, but Christine and
- I are sick to death of them and want to get away from them as much as
- get away from home.
-
- Here comes the real problem, lack of money.
-
- I, being a starving college student, am barely able to make ends meet
- with the money that I am making here at UMASS and whatever Christine
- can make cleaning houses, (our parents houses).
-
- If anyone can give me the name or number of somewhere within 6 or so
- hours driving from Boston that will meet any or all of what I am
- looking for PLEASE drop me a line as soon as you can.
- Preferrably somewhere off of a major road way I-95, I-93, Rt-3, etc.
- The more detailed the directions the better.
-
- Heck if anyone has a back yard big enough and can spare some running
- water and perhaps a shower by all means don't hesitate a reply.
-
- Perhaps this too would make for a good addition to the proposed FAQ,
- cheap places to stay to fulfill one of lifes greatest needs, a place to
- fish.

-
- ps. Our budget for the trip is about $150.00 this is to cover gas,
- campground costs, food(I will bring from my folks house whatever I can)
- and any other needs associated with this trip.
-
- Thank you
