These slides were taken the summer of 1964. The top picture is Joe Rexroad and Don Lash looking at the Hudson River, someplace between the city and West Point. I think it was taken on or near the Roosevelt Mansion.
On the same weekend trip (about 120 miles from the base) we went swimming and rope-diving at Clear Pool Camp near Carmel, New York, where my uncle was the director.
I am purposely not putting my picture up just swinging on and letting go of a rope, in mid-air. I looked something like the Great White Whale doing a flip out of water.

You all were having way too much fun.
Now tell us of the other stuff you did.
I used to do that as a teenager, but into a creek. Lots of fun.
Si,
I can't do that - On some things the Statue of Limitations just doesn't run out.
Judy,
We used to do it in a creek too, before I was a teenager... we dammed up the creek. I remember one time after letting go of the rope on the way down I saw a snake swimming right where I was to make my splash in a split second. I hit the water and never saw the snake again....thank the Lord.
I used the same rope (maybe) at least he same location. It was 1968.
I used the same rope; well, at least the same location. It was summer 1968.
