There will be an OPEN HOUSE at the new cabin on the West Ridge at Lot #110, December 16, 3:00pm to 5:30pm. (This is the afternoon of the Christmas Dance.) There will be light snacks. The pleasure of your company is plenty. Please, no house warming gifts. We would have to find places for them and write a lot of thank you notes.

Oaklake Flood Control 
On the OLT property there are nine of these small lakes that retain water flow during peak rain periods, typically in the spring and fall.
This is the final continuation in the OLT lakes series.  We will look at the 3 final lakes on our list.

To view the entire lakes series please refer to the OCT & NOV newsletters by visiting our NEWSLETTER BLOG.   It hosts a running digital archive of past Trail Guide Newsletters.
Once you have hiked most of the trails, you can become more
an adventurist and take side trails or walk the trails
backwards from these instructions.

Scum Lake: (scum pond) or (bare lake)
East past the pavilion and down past the first R.V. site is
a small pond that has a blue-green hue.  It looks like a
scum, but if you move the tiny leaves of the plant aside,
there is a clear water below the surface.  The pond doesn't
deserve the name.

Yacht Club Lake: (marsh lake)
This lake is down the fairway from the gazebo and is easily
identified by a large cottonwood tree growing out of it's
dam.  Take trail #2 for about 200 yards, the lake is on
your left.  Beware of an alligator on the fairway side!
Stepping on it accidently could result on a nasty bite.

Milfay Road Lake: (Shamrock)
There is no trail to the lake which is located just a few
yards east off the Milfay Road.  It is perhaps 50 yards
south of the county line road which turns east.  The county
road is .5 miles north of the Trails Park driveway.  Not
especially noteworthy especially if you walk to it in
summer vegetation.  If you go to the lake you will have to
wear clothes because it is in sight of the road.

Digital Money?

OLT Military Honor Board

What is a Bitcoin Wallet?

A Bitcoin wallet is where you store your funds. You can think of it like a bank account that can be completely owned and controlled by you and not the bank. In concept, it is very similar to a traditional wallet in your back pocket but in digital format.
Bitcoin wallets come in various formats and designs but generally all provide the same functions of sending, receiving and storing your money.

Bitcoin consists of 2 keys; A Private Key and a Public Key
The private and public keys are mathematically fated to each other. One cannot function without the other.

Your private key is the single most important thing about Bitcoin and your wallet stores the key.
It is literally a long set of letters and numbers that only you should be able to access.

Man's Best Friend and OLT
We here at OLT love our dogs and they are a part of our society in many ways. They come to our Sunset Socials and they visit with us and bring smiles to our faces.
They are positive factors in the lives of those of us who choose to include and accept them. They have a place here with us.
That being said, let's talk about the "place" of dogs at OLT. First of all, they are dogs and not people. As such they have to understand their place in the pack as it were and what their boundaries are.
One of those boundaries is a restriction on being able to roam the park alone.

The dog policy at OLT says that, "All pets on the main grounds must be leashed and/or controlled by their owners. Pets are not welcome at the Bistro, or at other food events, or in buildings, unless otherwise permitted (Pet friendly cabins). Clean up after your pets at all times. "

To be considered under control a dog should have their owner with them both to exert that control and to claim responsibility for that dog's behavior. Having a dog is a great thing but you as the owner can't just turn them out to do their own thing because like children, they'll do what they like with no thought to consequences. Their behavior and the consequences of that behavior are your responsibility as the owners.

Also along that same line I'd like to talk about enabling. What we encourage will be repeated, and what we consistently discourage will not. In terms of dog behavior, that means not letting dogs that are not your own sleep at/in your homes. Every dog here has a place but when they are allowed to crash at homes not their own it propagates the impression that they can go anywhere and can consider everywhere their domain. That may seem harmless……until they're digging in your garden or chewing bits that you prefer to have undamaged.

This all being said, we ask that you adhere to a few tenets. First, if it's not your dog don't let it sleep at or in your home. Send them away and do it consistently and they'll go where they're allowed. Their home. Secondly, if it's not your dog, don't feed them. Like any other animal if you feed them they'll keep coming back. Resist those big brown eyes and be strong! :-)  Lastly, don't make excuses for them. There is a standard of behavior for them and they have to consistently be held to it. As an example, "Spot isn't allowed in the house but others let him in". Folks, if it's not your dog don't undermine the discipline its owner is trying to instill.
If we stick to these common sense precepts we can keep smiles on both our faces and our furry friends
