They would HAVE to be teens, Pom, to think splashing around in ice-cold water was fun!(And it had to be chilly ~ mountain water is always ridiculously cold.)Monnie Ryan September 12, 2013
I might brave the cold, but I'd hate to fall down in all those rocks! Ah, to have the bravado of youth. Terrific capture, Laura! #10841265Laura E. Swan September 12, 2013
Good morning Mare, and Monnie :)Mera, I kid you not, I sing that song all the time! (Those were the days my friend!) And Purple Haze is definitely on my list of FAV's!
When I was young a best friend had an Uncle who had property on a river in California called "The Eel River". Three Cabins. A Girl, Boy and Food cabin. I spent a LOT of time walking across river rocks there, primarily to get to the camp area. Arms loaded with supplies and clothes! It was always a thrill to have your feet slipping around and your shoes hitting slime and algae!
You gals will be happy to know I safely took this image from the bridge above! :D
We had actually stopped to take photos of what I saw on the OTHER side of the bridge! The river/stream ran sharply down hill. It was so pretty!
This was a Jasper Back road. 93A I think?

Memories captured!! :) Awesome! #10841850Cindy Bendush September 22, 2013
Oh yeah - the sound of the water rushing over the rocks - so cold it took my breath away...Did it ONCE! Nice candid Laura! #10851553Chris Ebben November 04, 2013
Good reminder of days gone by, when things were easy & fun & you could understand the songs.... looks very inviting. Another good one=^..^= #10891195Laura E. Swan November 04, 2013
I wish we could ALL tour the ROCKIES together. It's like being in the 50's up here. Wild and free and clean and low crime. I love the National Parks in Canada. :DThanks you guys! I think this river was from a glacier but it might be a run off river. #10891198
