So there are a few lakes not too far away from the trail which make fine bathing and cool down spots…I met a guy named Grasshopper who highly recommended that i stop and swim here despite the pesky rumors the gubmnt used to dump stuff in here…and I will admit, he did a very good job selling me on the idea of stopping and swimming…until later, when i was thinking about him i realized he was bald, no chest hair and no arm hair…didnt check out his legs but i had some nagging doubts as to how “fine” the water really was and passed on the swim.
