(the cow poop went down stream and not into the hole)...It has a bottom I'm sure, but the deeper you went the Colder it got,I swam there for many years and never saw anyone bring up sand,and many tried... The Blue Hole was the best to swim in, but there were several holes like it, one beside John D Edmonds house, and another that we did swim in, Blue Springs behind Cat Arnolds old house off of old hwy 72. There was an Old tale that Selby's Pond (that's what we called it in the 60s, kinda dried up now, but was more of a nice Fishing Lake back then) across from Larkinsville Cemetery was started in the early 1800 by a Settler digging a Well,went out the next mornin' and had a lake... it had all type game fish so there might be something to Larkinsville sitting on a Lake or River... back to the Blue Hole, it was a good place for a 15 yr old to sober up after drinking some GREEN (before it was ready) HOMEBREW that severval of us boys had made. ohh the things we do when we are young.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620054736647708300.post-77121197866210887232011-08-18T17:12:46.976-07:002011-08-18T17:12:46.976-07:00I've swam in it, and the water is always freez...I've swam in it, and the water is always freezing!!! :) lol....
