    Jacobs Hole! Jacobs Ladder!
    I was struck immediately by the beauty of this place.
    When I was a teen I was scared to death of these whirl pools & getting sucked through dams. When I lived in NM my best friends Air force parents took us to a lake. I was lucky enough to be in a inner tube. But they sounded the alarm. I was WAAAAY far out. But I swam as hard as I could. After just a minute or so the current took hold of me. I just screamed & her dad came & got me. Luckily I could swim too.
