Finally, a place to swim


Swimming, Audra State Park

When I first got to WV I remember calling someone up asking "where is the tire on the tree over the swimming hole?". There was no answer. Seems all the streams round here were polluted with mine tailings- toxic metals and the like.

8 years later, I can report that we've found two swimming holes. There's Bull Run, near Morgantown but that gets a little crowded. And, as we found out today, there's Audra State Park.

We got there after a day in the car. It was delightful. We spent a happy hour here, blowing bubbles, duck diving, paddling, paddling, paddling.

I'll be back.
