Flysmallie Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Kids in India benefit. Cool! Well sometimes they do benefit from our country and sometimes they don't. The US just denied Visa's to the India Youth Archery Team that was scheduled to travel to the US this week to compete in the World Youth Archery Championships. http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report-us-denies-visa-to-world-championship-bound-indian-youth-archery-team-2092653
fishinwrench Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Nice. I'm just of the mindset that by the time whoever handles donations for foreign charity takes their cut (oh yes they do!) that very little goes where it was intended. Screw them, help your neighbors instead and actually get to see it, that way if it ends up supporting someones drug habit you can redirect elsewhere. Let the rich basturds in India worry about the needy there. Sounds coarse I know, but hey.... Linhardt 1
grizwilson Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 It was my understanding that a lady who was part of one of the families bought the place for 8 million. Never heard anything about it being turned over to the state, but it is super cool that people can stay down there now. I'll be interested to hear if it is possible to fish in the spring. Every time I have been down there it looked very difficult to access and the water seemed fairly overgrown with coontail, or some kind of algae. Gorgeous setting overlooking the spring however, let me know if you go down Rick and I'm in for my share of the place if I'm free (and if you get enough people to make it affordable). Rick & Justin, I will be part of the make it affordable. les Justin Spencer, Terrierman and Jdecoudres 3 “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
Terrierman Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I'll try to put together a trip for there with the OAF good ole boys and wives - late September or any time in October. Watch your PM's. grizwilson 1

ruthead Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 At least Anheuser Busch or some land and cattle company didn't buy it. It's probably good that the state didn't buy it either, I doubt they could resist developing it. Yep. They'd probably have people fishing from a newly constructed sidewalk and the place run by someone we all have heard of.
