When I was young and foolish...

Did you know they closed Kings and created house lots?

I did not ride through the Weirs Channel at 2:00 AM at full speed in a friends old wooden (Mahogony?) Chris Craft speedboat. Adult beverages were involved. Talk about young and stupid.

Nor did we drop a full keg off the swimming platform at Three Mile Island for a party with the AMC kids. Kegs sink. The resulting recivery effort was worthy of our Naval Salvage units.

A very good friend and another had met some young ladies at the Wiers and took them up the road past where Akwa Solei marina will be and pull off for some sub mariner exploration when to their supprise a bright light appeared. They were parked on the RR tracks!

I have never been young and foolish. (disclaimer) I have always been 102 years old and I don't remember that far back! (there must be a statute of limitation on these things.....)

I did have the pleasure of a kayak adventure on Suncook Lake today. I photographed the following youthful indescretions ....spray-painting your name on a bridge ....and....(gasp!) jumping off a bridge with a sign that says....."NO JUMPING OFF THIS BRIDGE!!!!"

AHHH, the smiles on my face reading all these posts!!!

McDude,
this picture reminds me of last year camping at Pawtuckaway with the whole gang , 13 families, 49 total (fertile group)

Me my wife and brother and sister in law encouraged all the kids to go jump off the bridge and they thought that was the coolest thing, although some of our friends had sticks up their butts when they found out

. Bridge was only about 10-15 high, but was a right of passage for the kids and of course me and my brother in law joined them

.

We used to jump off the bridge on the way to Newfound lake off exit 23 as a warm up and then we went to some falls (can't remember the name) near there and would plug the outflow with rocks to raise the water level when needed before we jumped.

Last year I was on Newfound and found the rocks we used to jump off by boat. now there is a house there. no tresspassing sign

so I dove in and jumped anyway just for old times. I remember having to walk down a dirt trail to get to this spot and skinnydipping and sunbathing during the day and a hole in the rock at the top that you could drop your emptys into and they would clang for quite a while on the way down.

GOOD TIMES!!!!
