Did you go to the strip mine lakes/ponds on East Poplar (on past where

George,
 
Absolutely. We went to them and others. And, speaking of bike riding, I used to ride mine from Barton and Warren (essentially Wabash) out to Allendale (if I still have the name right) to caddy at the TH Country Club. Carry a 36 hole double on a good day and then ride back home. Sure like to be able to do that today and sure glad i don't have to!

Was that possibly Crystal Lake? I wasn't a swimmer, but I used to go up
there and shoot my bb gun. If I remember correctly it was north of North
Plaza.
