When I bought this place back in 2002 I was told about a small pond on the edge of the field. It took about 3 years before I found it.
For the first few years, the thick overgrowth and steep banks kept it well hidden. I knew approximately where it was and I would throw a rock into the brush and wait for a splash. It was Last year, after a lot of work I finally exposed this little gem. I have cleared most of the brush and I continue to dig by hand the high steep banks down to a gentile slope. When Kopper is out in the field he can always be found in his pond. Last Winter the kids had a great time playing on the ice. It does dry up during dry spells but a little bit of rain brings it back to life and 6' deep.
It is one of our little treasures.

I wondered where they played on the ice last year... Jeanne may have said, but I forgot. How fun for Kopper. Love you all. Mom
