Swimming Hole (Tar Creek), November 23, 2001
When I went down to Southern CA for Thanksgiving, I went bouldering at this Ventura County spot with Joe and Laura. It's a deep, beautiful canyon full of boulders and pools of water. When the water is low, like it was this day, the landings for many problems are no longer underwater.

Joe slaps for nothing on "Magic Johnson," while the face in the rock watches in the background.

Pretty cactus thingy.
Amy on the cobble problem. You can see how high the water can be.
Joe and the cobble. This big glossy quartz stone embedded in the sandstone makes a nice foothold.
