Tucked away in the small town of Lagrange Kentucky is this great little place called Fallen Rock Park. Now until recently it was only used for scubba diving lessons and private friends and family of the owner. But to everyones luck this summer he decided to open it to the public on Saturdays and Sundays. Its a great giant hole filled with water, you can swim and jump off cliffs, camp and grill out. I think it is the coolest place ever. Awsome reason number one: You must be 18 with a valid ID to enter. That means no children what so ever. Awsome reason number two: as long as you dont have bottles and you keep all things under control, they let you drink and grill out, and do about anything you want. Best part is, its only seven dollars to enter.
The water here is super clear and almost everywhere it is 20+ feet deep. Today the water was as warm as can be, it was so nice and relaxing. I wish I knew about this place earlier in the summer I would have been out there every weekend. Well maybe not everyweekend, but just about. I tell you what its better then being on a boat on the river. This water is clear and I'm not afraid I'll catch something by swimming in it. Its also surounded by trees, so other then the 100 - 200 other people you may find out there its really private. But bring enough adult beverages, the closest place that sells them is about 15 minutes away... Don't want to run out.
Well thats where I found myself today, a co-worker of mine is turning 21 tomorrow, and thats how she wanted to kick off her 21st birthday. Since I am "the girl with the truck" I threw my grill in the back and off I went to help start the party. They day started out so nice, but I was the only one not drinking and well the drunker they got and the more sun burnt I got, the quicker I found myself wanting to leave. I kept praying for a cloud to grace my presence and block out the sun, even if only for a minute, but there wasnt a damn cloud in the sky. Imagine that. Always when you really need something, never there. It seemed no matter how much sun block I applied my body just got hotter and hotter and hotter. The water wasnt helping either.
I hung out as long as I could, but sunburnt sobriety got the best of me, as soon as everyone was done eating I had them pack up my grill and away I went. I hope I don't get blisters. My skin still feels like its on fire, and I have been home for three hours. I am glad to be spending the wekend home. Its nice to keep things simple for a change. But if your ever in Lagrange KY I strongly suggest you check it out. If nothing else, to people watch. Have you ever seen KY rednecks drunk and trying to swim. LMAO..... Makes for such a great afternoon.
