That was a great story. I love hearing about peoples experiences as kids...they are always so lively. I have been in those parts with my parents, and I remember the cold water. Once we put a watermelon in a bag, and let it float in the river for a few hours to let it chill. As I said, I enjoyed reading your story, but would love to see pictures of the area. If you don't have any, I can understand that...I don't have any either. Well I did, but I am sure that they are long gone by now...I am the messiest person ever put on this earth.
