Quarry Jumping in Dorset Vermont

Is there anything better than a quarry swimming hole on a hot day in the Northeast, not likely. This afternoon we came on to one that is special, the first marble quarry in the US dating from 1785. Near Dorset Vermont one Isaac Underhill cut the Vermont marble in huge cubes for use around the new country of the United States. Now a days it is filled with cool mountain waters and folks looking to jump from the lip down. Young and old alike stepped up to the edge and leaped into the air, screams trailing their fall. It adds years to your life and keeps you feeling young, a Vermont fountain of youth!

And did you jump too?

I seem to remember pictures of you dressed in a rubber suit and floating around in a sea of ice somewhere in Europe.

If you can do that, surely you can dive into a quarry????
