Swimming: Pool or Lake?

When I was a kid? Lake every time. These days, a pool.

The Beach or the Mountains?

If it's a packed beach, I'll take the mountains. If it's an empty warm beach, I'll take the beach.

Ocracoke Island, NC springs to mind as an example of an amazing beach that is usually pretty quiet. That would be my choice.

Here's my idea of a beach. Not another person in sight, and mountains right down to the water.

Lake. Pools have too many chemicals, and I don't swim in that

@Bacpacker and @bkt have you guys been seeing the houses on the Outer Banks collapsing into the ocean? Prime location. Knuckle heads.

Not recently - we haven't been down there in years, unfortunately. But I've seen it happen. The locals have homes on the sound side. The huge rental houses are built on the ocean and occasionally the house and the land it was on disappear. Someone told me that if your house is damaged or destroyed and the land (sand) is still there, insurance will pay out. But if the sand gets washed away, too, then your property is simply gone and insurance won't pay anything.

Well over the past couple of weeks they’ve been losing them frequently. Makes me kinda mad, seeing all that stuff go into the ocean. Why don’t they clean it up? Just sayin’!
Beach!!!

There are houses go down there during most every major storm. I can't imagine insurance cost for a house there.

How about a donkey, there are always plenty for adoption!!

Mules are like 4 wheel all terrain vehicles one can ride.

Pool. Lake has too many microscopic parasites and fish and seaweeds that touch my legs and freak me out.
