No way! I spent my entire summers there as a kid - and learned how to swim there too! 25-35 years ago. My parent's house is about 5 miles away. From what I've heard they've made a lot of changes since I was last there. The place was almost sold off to developers a few years ago but I don't remember how they worked it out to keep it open. Certainly not for lack of income, I just think the land is worth too much now. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Small world stuff, Doug! I have lots of memories of freezing cold early morning swim lessons and hunting crawdads and salamanders in the pond. I think by the time you were there we had "graduated" to jumping off of and swimming below the little dam at Loch Raven Reservoir and rafting down the Gunpowder after a big rain! I must pay a visit there soon! fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Yup, we did a lot of fishing in that little pond, too. Did lots of tubing down the Gunpowder, and still kayak it. If you come around as always my driveway is open with almost full hookups (you have to move the pod or use a really long sewer hose to dump). ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Tubing?! We couldn't afford tubes, but Sunny's Surplus in Towson had blow-up mattresses for $2.00!  fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

 If Doug is talking about the same fish I remember in that pond, they were like 2"-3" sunnies! I think I tried stocking an aquarium with them. fred Edit: My sister just reminded me. I put them in the same bowl as my goldfish. Experiment failed, but I never stopped trying!

I miss Sunny's. The original version, not the modern retail version which didn't last that long. Yeah, those fish would have been good for bait. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Fess up Doug. How many ammo boxes did you buy from Sunny's? Canteens? I spent a lot of my lawn mowing money there. I'm sure we're boring the heck out of anybody else, but sure is fun! fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

LOL, I still have 2 of those ammo boxes. Used them to hold lunch and beer on those tubing trips. I always wanted one of those gas masks they had piled on tables but I never could justify it. One of those boxes now has ... my ammo. So did you go to Dulaney? The timing works out for you to be one of the first in the door. 2 pages with nothing related to the original post, but interesting to you and me. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

One brother and I went to Baltimore Lutheran HS (Cromwell Bridge and 695 across street from Spiro Agnew's house), one brother to Poly, one sister to Towson (Towsontown) HS and one to Loch Raven HS. Both brothers and I went off to Va. Tech. Before, after and during Va. Tech I worked at GBMC before sailing off to Florida (literally) for 25 years. It's been nice being back this way! Did you ever get one of those trench coats or field jackets at Sunny's? Of course, then there was the movie theater, White Castle Burgers (bag 'O burgers) and the "rich old ladies" at Hutzlers. We'll have to trade stories over some beers and a fire sometime. Off to Cunningham State Park tomorrow - across PA to Harrisburg, Gettysburg and down. Looks like a nice spot for a day or three. Fishing. (That's just to see if Leo is paying attention) fred

Came through Annapolis , up through Baltimore area and up I-83 through PA, up to New York. Then back over to Vermont. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Figured I catch you with a little fishing lure, Leo!  You live in a gorgeous area, Leo. I visited nephew at Dartmouth often. Really pretty drive along 91. Somewhere I got pictures kayaking the Quechee. fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

It is really nice! We had thought of moving south back when I retired but just couldn't leave the area permanently. Having grown up down on Cape Cod we do find ourselves missing the ocean every now and then. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |
