Marc and I went to a private lake yesterday called Silver Lake Farms.
This place is beautiful. It's located just outside of LaPorte Indiana in a small town called Rolling Prairie. http://www.silverlakefarms.net/
The lake is nestled nicely in a small valley surrounded by trees. Wind chop is almost minimal even with the 5-10MPH wind we had that day. The lake is PERFECT for practicing Figure 8's.
We did two runs each and then goofed off and did a few playful runs. It is almost too short for a 3 event tourney but a Figure 8 contest would be no problem. There's a beautiful little beach area, playground and lots of grassy hills for peeps/families and kids to hang out.
I'll post a couple pictures of the lake as soon as I get them off my camera. Thor had talked to us about the lake, gave us all the history and even mentioned they may eventually dredge out a little in order to make it a little longer so that hosting a 3 event would be no problem.
I'd like to thank Thor of http://www.nostiks.com for inviting us up to practice and just hang out. It was a great time! |
