One last old picture. I was finally able to read the sign. This picture is probably from the 1920s. I can't remember off the top of my head the exact date that trail that completely surrounded handkerchief was installed. The sign reads "EMERGENCY NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC THE POOL IS TEMPORARILY CLOGGED PLEASE DO NOT PUT HANDKERCHIEFS IN IT THEY DO NOT RETURN U.S. NPS" Dave -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
