Do you remember the picture of the 3 naked boys standing in the creek?that was the first water fall. This waterfall was a little larget then the other one. In the summertime after dinner Mother would say i am going to laydown, wake me in 15 min. Well that is when we would sneak off to the creek to go swimming.
We built some good dams just below that waterfall. It was never something you would just do on your own. You’d have to have some cousins present for dam building to be on the table.
I don’t recall that we ever really finished a dam. It would get dark or we would have to go eat or we would see one too many snakes.
You’d think that over they years the dams would build up and we’d have a real swimming hole, but they would always be washed away before the next one was under construction.
Oh, and we didn’t always build them in the same place anyway.
