    YES THE RIVER! I went a two weeks ago and it is officially warm enough to get in, although maybe a bit too cold to really swim in.

    I’m leery of any water that DuPont uses as their own personal toilet..

    I’m looking forward to swimming as well and if it makes you feel any better bopst, DuPont is downstream ;)

    and everybody upstream is environmentally conscious (anybody remember the kepone poisoning from Hopewell in 1975? If not, go here: http://openweb.tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/1975-12/1975-12-16-NBC-11.html). It depends on where you go. Just be sure to avoid the still water. I’ve gotten out of that river many times and had a layer of grime that made me queasy.

Got something to say?
