Title: City campground swimming hole
Post by: Aunt Mollie on August 11, 2012, 09:58:00 PM
I remember trying to swim in the swimming hole that was made by pouring gravel to block off the current.  It was just a little way from the bridge.  It was FREEZING.  It seems like it pretty quickly became a better duck habitat than swimming hole.

As an adult, I often took my daughters to have a picnic under the bridge.

For $5, we would stop at the grocery store and buy a loaf of bread, can if Pringles, package of Balogna, box of Little Debbie brownies, and 25 cent sodas from the machine outside.  This was
The early 90's.  Imagine feeding three people and a gaggle of ducks and geese on $5! 

Yep, apparently I CAN get more homesick than I was in my last post!

That Lake Taneycomo water is at a constant 40 degrees. Yes, that makes for some COLD swimming.
