Reminds me what I saw (or wanted to see) at "Hippie Hollow." You may remember. And the cowboys taking a cool retreat in the sweltering prairie, I have seen in some academic, western Americana publications. Thanks, enjoyed the dip.

The stonework in this photo can still be seen today.<br />Fairmount Park, which of course surrounds Peter's Island, may be the largest park inside a city. It is why the river bank in the background is not developed. It doesn't look much different today.jimboylan2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02107009943866530505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-12495774210810196652019-08-29T07:43:25.005-10:002019-08-29T07:43:25.005-10:00It must have been a large park or undeveloped area...It must have been a large park or undeveloped area because there is a lot of open space and some forest on the bank in the background.
