Been away from the message board too long, nice to be back.
1) My pond is 183 miles (2 1/2 hours) away. I'm there once a month during summer, every other weekend during hunting season. Somewhat remote area, fish seems safe, no signs of trespassers.
2) I had several aquariums...as a kid spent all day catching turtles, still fascinated by water. I would have been a Park Ranger, but not enough $$$...I'm saving that for my "last" job !
