Old School Pool


Grace takes the plunge down the ancient slide in Eldorado Springs pool. A resort since the beginning of the last century with a large mineral springs pool, "Eldo" is a welcome relief on a warm summer day. The whole theme is "retro" with old signs from years ago, a decidely downscale snack bar, and no real "modern" upgrades. The slide is a thrilling accent; all metal with layer upon layer of rustproof paint, you wonder "how can this kind of thing still be in the age of lawsuits and modular plastic?" But there it is, over in the shallow end of the pool, and the ride is really quite exciting- go ahead, try it sometime... I dare you!
