We walked the trail to Mirror Lake in Yosemite Valley. Other kids were in the water and Jeff and Mark finally climbed out on a rock and jumped in. They got out of the water fast though - and all cold water since has been compared to Mirror Lake. August 13, 1982.

As soon as the boys would hit the water, they would start swimming as hard as they could for the shore. Then they would sun for a while before jumping in again.
