Make a Pond at Shawnee Mission Park with a Trailcam?

 Oh hai!  What six months since I posted?

 

So, news first. August 9th helped my daughter to unfsck her vintage Honda Accord.  Catalytic heat shield fell off and was dragging on the highway.  Laid down, jacked the car up a bit reached out and banged the metal off the frame. No immediate issues, eh?

Well a day or two later, shooting pain from the hip to the heel on the left leg.  Sciatica. 

It's now one full month and I've got 500 steps, or 4 minutes standing before I have to pop a squat to reset the nerves.  Gah.

 Well, we can still plan for the future!

This post on X (Twitter for us OG's) shows a guy making a pond in a desolate area of a nature preserve, then filming the animals that come!
 

 

 

SO, Shawnee Mission Park has a large unused area that has limited camping and no maintained trails - an ideal place to put a pond and trail cam!  Comment your suggestions for a good HD trail cam with IR night vision!
