That was "our" Saturday morning run in high school. Used to shoot squirrels with a .22 all the way down that stretch. Also dumped several thousand ..22 bullets into that pool at the put-in over the years, often shooting off the Grants Mill bridge. Different times. Ran a bird dog all over the USS property just north of there, after they hey turned it into cutover in the late '70, but long before either I-459 or Liberty Park were conceived of..

RE - exploring mines; just don't. There is a world of difference between naturally formed caves, that age and collapse over 10s of thousands or millions of years, and 50-150 year old abandoned mines. Truly bad idea..


Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.
