Yep! I would have never guessed the depth by looking at it - I
figured maybe 5 feet or so. I had my swim trunks on Sunday so I waded
in, and very quickly couldn't touch bottom anymore. I didn't think to
take my glasses off at the time because I didn't figure I would be
going completely underwater. Failed to touch the bottom on my first
attempt, but got there on the second. My glasses came off when I
pushed off the bottom to get some much needed air. :-)
I thought about trying to take a more accurate measurement when I
went back for the glasses, but was in a bit of a hurry to get back
since I had lots of work to get done. Its at least 15 feet though.
If anybody comes driving down the stream, thinking that section is
the same as before, they are in for a mighty surprise if they try to
drive through there. ;-)
