Not So Pro 3

What all was you into in the Smokies? Did you at least get a shirt from the dragon??

Not sure what the dragon is. Most of our activities involved driving away from Gatlinburg/ Sevier co. Cherokee NC had a pretty fantastic museum of the Cherokee people. I've seen probably over a dozen Peter Toth wood sculptures in different states so this was on my bucket list:

Hell of a hike to the top huh?

I did have to stop once to wait for my wife

 

[Woodpecker]

This was all running water the day before.

Shhhhh don't tell my wife I snapped a pic of her best side.

Tail of the Dragon is a 11 mile stretch of road with 318 turns. Lots of fun on 2 wheels. If u was in Cherokee you were very close to the Wheels Through Time Museum. Very cool place. Highly recommended.

Gotcha. I think you just described 90% of the roads down there. Especially the road up to the condo we rented. My wife (doesn't like heights) hated it. I thought it was super cool.

I was all about the wheels through time museum but it was a no go after a recent visit to the Henry Ford museum

The 5 or 6 year old rubber pond liners are taking a beating.
I'm contemplating doing concrete. I've been reading on it, most of the time it's for a Coy fish pond. Sounds like typical thickness they are going is 4"...
So, thoughts? I don't think I'd need to go that thick, but, I'm no expert.


@huskihl , @Stihl working Hard , what are your guys thoughts?

I've also read that for fish, a guy has to spray it with a rubber coating otherwise the lime leaches out and kills the fish.. not sure if it's an issue for deer, birds, and such? I see concrete cattle water holding ponds.

Concrete will always crack, and probably let the water out. But you could clean up the liners and put them underneath the concrete. I wouldn’t think the liner would hurt animals at all. They make bird baths out of concrete

Or have someone drop you off a 10 yard load of junk gumbo clay that they are getting rid of. Spread that *s-word out with your skid steer into a bowl and it would work just dandy I bet

Clay is tough to come by here. We don't have dirt, we have sand..
I'll get a pic of "the beach" on my way back to the house after filling the other water hole.

Putting the liner down under the concrete is a good thought.
I'm looking for something that's easier for me to dredge the leaves and deer *s-word from and will last me longer.

 

[redline4]

The girls used to come down here and dig around until a badger decided to dig some tunnels.
There's a spot in the woods just beyond the property line on the neighbors that's all sand, about 50 yards by 75 yards.

Wouldn’t one of those 100gal Rubbermaid water tanks work bury it

I'd vote concrete over the liner as well. @redline4 you might get some gooder ideas from the diy natural pool crowd as well.

Probably, but the deer like to walk right into it, with the steep sides they might not like it? I had a couple cut off plastic 55gal barrels out before. They hardly touched them.
These lined holes, deer are there all the time.
