The fence is only for the rental boat section, the shore is accessible in other areas.

ParticipantThe reflecting pool at the Capitol Columns in the National Arboretum from Boomer’s title photo. Pretty neat that the pool is fed by the small rivulet running down the steps.

It was my second bike ride to Lake Accotink. The first happened when I wanted to explore new routes (as always. Sorry for not being honest). The second ride occurred thanks to a Calvinball game. Not only did I retrieve CB, but I also found a lake and a park.

ParticipantLake Meadow at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens. The bike and boat rentals are closed until March 27. Actually no, bikes, they are all four wheelers.

Good the the “real” lake was right next door. This big puddle has only receded about two feet since Friday’s rain. It’s about six inches deep at the middle of the crossing.

Now that’s a “massive puddle,” and did it really measure 6” in depth in the middle? Regardless, it counts; +1 extra point!!!!

The faceless cabal is asking for evidence about that fence & public access … an affidavit from the boathouse operator should suffice… given your past record of trying to bend the rules.

Boomer, that is a lake sign. The thing is that the sign faces Lake Accotink. And that was the only signage of the lake I found. So, the lake was behind me when I took that photo. I should have taken a panorama photo. Now it is up to you to count my submission as valid or not. I will be happy with whatever decision you make.

[mention]Serdar [/mention] Rule #2 requires the Lake and a bike to be in the pic; signage is above, beyond and appreciated, but not required. #lakefinderfail
Here’s an example that meets rule #2
I will offer you make up credit if you can recreate this exact same photo but using your own bike [emoji605]
