August 27-28 2004 "The Summer Sink" Fun Run

Sep 1, 2004
We met in Carmel Indiana for an end of summer fun run. Although the weatherman threatened us all weekend, it only rained for about two minutes Friday afternoon and it turned beautiful after that! As construction nears completion in the area, the pond was the clearest we have seen it.

 
After meeting at the hotel Friday afternoon, we ran over to the pond and dropped our boats in the water for a short run. Afterwords - it was Applebee's for dinner, Margaritas and lots of great conversation. Enlarge Image
