Dynamite Hole

I've walked down this path a million times!

This spot on the river is called Dynamite Hole. When my brother and I went there as children, a long peninsula of bedrock stayed dry near the rapids. We called it Crocodile Rock. I haven't seen it like that in a long time. I guess we always swam there in the summer when the water was low, but I've been back there in July or August for the last few years and Crocodile Rock is always just underwater.

The bedrock drops off steep here, and the water's really deep. In some places the rock cuts under itself and you can imagine spooky things hiding where you can't see.
