It was in the river.
But...this was back in the days before an uncle could be prosecuted for child abuse for tossing his very little non-swimming neice into a river, lol. I could probably still dog paddle around the world if I had to. :)
Glad to hear things haven’t changed too much. My family was from a little further north..Carrier Mills. We were just at Cave In Rock to fish, picnic..and try not to drown. They are all gone now so I think, like I said, I’ll leave those memories intact.
In fairness to my uncle..he taught me a lot. He would take me hunting and how to clean the kill. Taught me how to mow the yard on a Gravely riding mower. How to garden. How to drive a standard transmission (sitting on his lap ‘cause my legs weren’t long enough to reach the brake/accelerater/clutch.)
All of those things would be frowned upon today..if he weren’t arrested!
