Reminds me of being in a boat at Lake Tahoma right at the edge of the dam

Not fake, it's real, been there, seen it, it is scary--Lake Berryessa. We call it the Glory Hole.

As a small child my grandfather used to take my brother and me up to Berryessa Lake. I caught my first fish there.

Usually the drain was above the water line so it was something we looked at from a fair distance. Grandpa told me there was a Loch Ness monster inside...

A guy I worked with had to go in the hole and retrieve the body, he said it wasn't a pretty sight.

To get to the glory hole would have to be intentional.

In as much as I was drawn to her inexplicably while knowing how spooky she was.

I paid the price eventually

Don't we all. Every fiber of your being says run like hell, but you don't.

Must be what it's like for the moth just before it touches the flame.

There are very few years when Berryessa is full enough to go over the glory hole. I think it is close to twenty feet below the edge right now.
