Grandpa Milo did lots of interesting things in his life. One of them was that he built a half-acre concrete pond on his little farm outside of Newberg, Oregon. It was a filtered pond with a three foot waterfall and a 12 foot waterfall, a Japanese garden, volleyball beach, a cabaña for parties and much, much more. He put in several thousand petunia’s every year along with a lot of other flowers so it was absolutely beautiful. Aunt Julia found the original plan he made on some computer paper and I thought I would put it up here for posterity.

Grandpa Milo's pond plan

Grandpa sold it to some folks who turned it into a wedding location when he retired. Here is the view from Google maps:
