Mark & Brandon Cool Off at the Lake

The three of us stopped off at a site to replace LNA's before heading down to Springfield. Since the first site was at the Lake of the Ozarks and it was 187 degrees outside, Mark and Brandon suggested we take a dip in the lake to cool off before continuing to Springfield.
Jumping in the muddy, snapping turtle-infested water didn't appeal to me, but I promised I would refrain from driving off in the truck if they wanted to do it.
There was a guy sitting at the picnic table on the dock, just behind that gas pump, that said he didn't have a problem with them jumping in. I remember standing there, taking this photo, sweating my ass off on the asphalt boat ramp while the guys cooled off country style. But when they got out, they had leeches all over their bodies!!!
Just kidding, all they got on them was water...cool, dirty, stinky water. I kind of wished I'd jumped in with them, but after I took this pic, I rifled through their wallets and came out pretty well in the deal. I also had the ac running in the truck, which was much cooler than the sewage they were swimming in.
