    I run at that same pond too! I haven't been in over a month but I had been going during the week on lunch breaks. I'll check out your Facebook page, it would be fun to chat boats and hopefully run some time!

    I've heard about people running at a pond near Academy Sports on Atlantic but have never been. I've driven by the store and even looking on Google Maps I can't quite figure out where they go.

    Sweet man. The more the better! We just got my brothers impulse in the water today and needs to have some adjustments made so we will be out there tomorrow after 5 or so. You should come out if you can

    It's a great pond. Private, quiet and easy parking. If you go to google maps then view Ricker and Old Middleburg, street view, you can see the pond right there.

    I'll see if I can get out there one of these afternoons. I usually get stuck leaving one job for the other.

    I'll go on my hour lunch breaks which is perfect for me since it's only about 7 min from my office. Plenty of time to pump up my raft and run two batteries, then head back. :)

    I joined the Facebook group - looks fun and thanks for the tip!

    My boat is in pieces as I'm replacing the servo and stuffing tube, tweaking some stuff... so, unfortunately no for me.

    Hope you have fun if you are still going, here are a few pics I've snapped of the lake!
