Triple Jump, 3,2,1

"'Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.'" - J.R.R. Tolkien

"So are you guys out here every weekend?"

"Naa, more like every day. Okay guys, triple jump. 3... 2... 1... go."

I finally found Georgetown's local watering hole about 5 minutes down the road by car. These three young boys were keeping cool, passing away the summer and of course showing off to a group of girls by jumping off the dams flood gate supports into the 4 feet of current below.

They were all to happy to let me know that the bottom was only 4 feet below as the shortest of the three struggled to not be swept away as he told me that he in fact was touching bottom with his shoes.

I have to remember to bring a towel and swim trunks next time I visit.

That jump looks pretty scary to me. Hopefully they already know how deep it is!

Reminds me of some of the things that I use to get up to with my brother during the summer holidays

That looks pretty crazy, but even crazier if you say it's only 4 foot deep. You've caught the action very nicely.

I have been watching your posts for months now, I figured it was time to comment. I've been to this watering hole! lol Last summer actually - I've done the jump too!

You're fantastic, and inspiring!

I haven't gotten anything done recently. I've just been hanging out doing nothing. I haven't been up to anything these days, but it's not important. Today was a total loss.
