Sorry that I haven't answered the recent questions/posts.
Haus, I will get some pics posted, however, it will be at least several weeks
Bill C., I just got the slabs from a local supply house; they are about 1.5" to 2" thick; or were you asking something else? :-)
Nick, We had actually put a small spray paint mark on each slab prior to putting them onto the damn. I should be able to identify them if I ever see them again. But after your suggestion, I had my caretaker man spray paint the hell out of the remaining slabs with some vile orange color. Thanks for that idea.
Pottsy, the general concensus (including your input) seems to be that the Rails to Trails thing basically sucks for adjacent land owners. I was really hoping this would improve the morals of the track users if it formally went through; I guess not.
Also Pottsy, you are correct in that the stream is actually not on my property. However, the local state police really seem to want to help for several reasons. Most likely the thieves have other bad acts connected with them, and this theft gives the police more to lump on the perps. The police also want upstanding citizens who will actually testify in court if needed.
I'm certain now that we won't be building a weekend home at this site. In fact, we are starting a more active search for another suitable property.
The only problem is now that I've become a total pond freak, I must have at least a 5+ acre pond with the potential to make it over 10 acres, or something larger.
The other problem is that I've got my fish man coming with a 1,000 jumbo bluegill next week (hope the ice thaws), and (50) 2-3lb. SMB a few weeks later. If I end up getting a new place, I'm going to take every fish I can from the existing pond and move 'em to the new one.
Thanks guys.
