Last time I was there in 2000 or 2001 a friend took his jet-ski up there. Attracted a huge crowd and even made the papers. That is till the local contabulary made then cease!!

Awesome place in the wet or dry!!

Ahhh They say if you see the Todd run you will never leave the Alice. I think it ran twice in the three years we lived there. Still we left forthe pastures.

Always wondered where all them green cans ended up?....lol
