Take the Plunge: A Guide to NH's Swimming Holes
By Stacy Milbouer and Tom Long
Friday, June 1, 2012
There's nothing cool about hunching over a computer screen and updating your Facebook status all summer long.
If you really want to get down with your peeps, try immersing yourselves in the original social medium, the untamed waters of a "secret" swimming hole or a secluded beach.
The exhilaration of cold water on a hot summer day and the sense of shared adventure is the kind of bonding experience that can create lifelong memories for friends and families.
But chill out, play it safe and follow the rules. Here's a guide for anyone ready to take the swimming hole plunge this summer.
Liability? We don't need no stinkin' liability.
It's all yours.
