C/F,
Menominee might have water hazards but I don't think it can compare to the Sharps, Florida Field. You fly on a Peninsula, with water on three sides. The gators don't come close but they are out there in the lily pads off to the right.

When Ben and I got to the flying site on Saturday the locals proudly pointed out their Kayak for retrieving planes. I lost one in the right side lake and Slam, quick as a whistle was in the Kayak to retrieve it. The Larbrador retrievers couldn't keep up with that boy but they tried.

Now if you overflew the center lake you would go down in the Palmetto grove. Ben had to retrieve his plane from there and had to outsmart two mocassins on the way in. Damn bugs, snakes, water, and gators are bad, plus those darn rudder bugs that Billy and Slam fly make for a miserable event.

Nah, Menominee Falls can't hold a candle to Sharps. Where real men (and idiots) fly combat.
