Anderson (Shady Side park) trianga stove outing.

[Richard]

I am packing up some gear and headed out with my daughter to Shady Side park, we're going to ride our bicycles around the lakes starting at the wetlands preserve & then stop off over by the sculptures to roast some hotdogs over a trangia stove.

If any of my fellow Andersonians want to come out and join us, maybe learn a little about trangia stoves you are more than welcome to.

Looks like you all had good time. Sorry I missed the post maybe next time. I used to do a lot of fishing at Shady Side when I still had my boat.

USMC,

Well it was sort of a last minute deal, after I picked up my daughter from school she asked if we could go ride bicycles (which usually means a picnic and stuff too) so I grabbed my BOB & stuffed a soft-sided cooler down in it with some goodies and as we were preparing to go I thought I'd jump on INGO & post an invite real quick before turning off the computer to leave to see if anyone was interested in joining us.

But as you can see from the photographs we had plenty of "uninvited guests" that came and shared our lunch with us!

I think Shadyside Park is a surprisingly beautiful park, even if the name DOES sound like that of a mental institution. :-) Looks like you guys had fun!

I miss walking my dogs there.

Love the pic of the wood duck! I think they are some of the most beautiful birds!
