You might not be able to tell, but this is one of the greatest swimming holes we know in Missouri. Since I have only three regular readers of this blog and I believe only one of them can swim, I don’t think I risk anything by saying this… 😉

Hey, I can swim… at least in the shallow end of the pool. 😊:-)
Even so, I think any would-be crowds should be advised that (a) the rocky shoreline here was littered with abandoned fish hooks waiting to puncture bare feet, and (b) I peed in this very spot.
Now, I am a faithful reader and I love to swim! always love seeing your photos – K
Ha! Thank you for your comments, my friends. Please be advised by Steve’s comment. 😉
