    The Rush of the Rapids

    It's a beautiful nature spot

    Tucked underneath the bowels of the cemetery

    Not to big, not to small

    Swimmers jump, leap, and even dive....yes dive, despite the fact that they risk cracking open their heads....but it's all in fun.

    There is an unofficial caretaker that rides a bike and pours bubblebath into the falls...he is very Weird Al Yankovich esk.

    People even bring their old fashioned radios and crank the tunes while they swim, drink and dive in to the pit of wet coldness

    In the winter no one swims

    But the water still rushes underneath the crisp, cool, jagged glaciers

    But when the summer season arrives, it's party time at a little falls in the small town of Adams

    gramps, This poem is my favorite of all your nature poems. Sounds like a great place to get an autograph from Wierd Al Yankovich! ginga
