Reply by shiatsuron on Mon Aug 14, 2023 at 1:39 pmI’ve been out on the lake scouting sites to hang some of the controls. I’ve recently been places I rarely see. One area is the cove that was closed for a couple of years due to the SONOCO pipeline spill into the lake, which has been cleaned up. You’d never know how much work went on there to clean it up.
On just one of my trips on the lake, I saw cormorants, mergansers, mallards, wood ducks, pond slider and painted turtles, herons, kingfishers and bald eagles.
Please come out and join us. Call a friend and create a team, or go it alone. The lake is delightful. There are picnic facilities nearby. The snack bar should be open.
If you have questions post it here, or email Bob Agosta or myself through the website emailer.

Reply by shiatsuron on Mon Aug 21, 2023 at 8:18 pmOne punch per team. If a team chooses to split up, there will be a person going to punch the control and the person staying in the boat.Not all controls might require considering splitting up. Paddle, punch and move on, but there are other cases that splitting up could be a viable alternative as long as the team has a strategy.
