Here is a quick tour of our pond/picnic area. It's located about half a mile south of our home in west central Wisconsin. We built the pond on a wet pasture area of the 40 acre piece we bought in 1974. When we built it in about 1975, there were hardly any trees around, and we could see for about a mile to the north. But now, 45 years later, we can't see more than about 100 feet in any direction!
