I had forgotten just how wonderful Das Boot is. Wet, dark, but at this time of year, the light shines down in there, and it is green and beautiful. Das Boot is very conditions-dependent. If the pools are full it is great fun. If the pools are dry or stinky, it becomes 'Das Hike".

Thankfully, Shane had cued us in to the possibility of a jump at the end. So we sent Denise down on the rope to check the depth and probe for rocks. Usually, there is not much of a pool here, but today...

Eric doing Das Jump. Fun! about a 15' jump into 8 feet of water.

Then we had the 'chore' of descending The Subway.

 

The lower bowling ball disappeared over the winter. Still a nice swim.
