It looks like we have a good turnout of members for the public run today. Most have finished the lunch that Robbi Haines has prepared for us and are socializing before the run begins. |

George Metts brought his electric powered Scrappy, ever a favorite with the kids. Joe Laskowski brought his Bangor & Western electric powered interurban. |

From the back side of the pond it looks pretty deep. Standing in the center it appears to be about five feet below the access road but the water won't get that high. |
