Nice chill area you live in, regardless. Good for you man. Good for you.

Really kinda hard to get a good pic of the whole thing, too many trees.

Hard to say for sure from the pics - I'd go with pond.

Nice area. What's the mosquito and blackfly count?

**After Shock Media** · 05-06-2006, 01:08 PM

General rule, if you can skip a rock across it. It is a pond.

**jimthefiend** · 05-06-2006, 02:12 PM

I've just been up there with a chainsaw clearing shoreline.

Anyone know of a good company to outsource that sort of thing to?

I'm really tired. heh

**wyldblyss** · 05-06-2006, 02:19 PM

Technically that would be a pond..but who cares what it is...it is water...it has fish....still makes you a lucky son-of-a-b for having that on your property.

**aico** · 05-06-2006, 02:24 PM

**u-Bob** · 05-06-2006, 02:26 PM

apparently that beer spillage has killed my cap lock.

**minusonebit** · 05-06-2006, 04:16 PM

Looks nice. Is it steam fed? Seen any snakes yet? My lagoon has a shitload of snakes around it in several spots.

**sexxxydesign.com** · 05-06-2006, 04:35 PM

mnn at least here in Argentina in order to call a body of water a LAKE it must have an efluent and an afluent.. (water coming in.. like a river.. creek.. or something..) and water coming out .. another river thats born in that lake or something..

**sexxxydesign.com** · 05-06-2006, 04:36 PM

BTW i envy you.. having my own private lake would be my dream come true ! btw where is it?

**woj** · 05-06-2006, 05:04 PM

yea, it's a lake...

**Shok** · 05-06-2006, 05:09 PM

if it's under 20 acres, then its a pond

**Shok** · 05-06-2006, 05:20 PM

**bigmack** · 05-06-2006, 05:31 PM

**BusterBunny** · 05-06-2006, 05:47 PM

no body of water can be called a lake without approval from jason so i'd say no
