Earlier today a bunch of fire trucks went roaring by our house and at one point a guy towing a boat stopped and asked my son if he knew where a certain street was.  The roads around here get kind of screwy with Styers Ferry becoming Concord Church and then turning back into Styers Ferry as just one example, so we’re used to the emergency personnel making multiple passes to try and find what they’re looking for.  Anyway a body was found floating in a pond a mile or two from here and now the deputies are looking into it.

The article on the Journal site mentions an interview with a teenager who says that people use that pond to party and swim.  He also says that he often hears gunfire.  I can back up that last sentence since we often hear gunfire in the distance, but we never knew where it was coming from until now.

Here’s a Google map showing the pond with the satellite view.
