This is a 1931 postcard taken on the Black. Question for all you old timers, do you think it was shot above the rocks or below the old bridge?
The St. Louis Post had an article on floating today. This was the only mention of the Black.
"The upper Meramec, Courtois and Huzzah are fine float streams within an hour or so of the city. The Black River at Lesterville, Mo., also will fall back into this category once the AmerenUE mess is washed away. High water in recent weeks has helped."
I still have not heard any pottery customer complain about the river or beach. Had one customer yesterday that just drove down from the city to see the Shut-Ins and drop by the pottery before heading back home.

This one is easy! This photo was taken from "above the rocks". It shows the river turning to the right, which happens BEFORE the rocks & bridge. Once you are below the bridge, the river turns slightly toward the left. Besides, I think I can see the "rope swing" in the backround. Agree??
How were the crowds this weekend?
I'm guessing before the rocks - I don't see any cars, unless this is before they were on the river bank.
I didn't get down to the bridge until Sunday afternoon. This weekend is always a little strange. First weekend after Memorial weekend and many of the schools are just getting out. So no one is at BRL right now. Don't know how many guests are at Wilderness, but there are some.

I absolutely love this photograph. I collect antique pictures and postcards showing people swimming in the old style bathing suits!!! Do you want to sell it?
I love your website. It has a lot of great pictures and is very informative.
