The Pool at the Ranch at Ucross

The first day when three of us biked over to the Ranch at Ucross, the pool was emerald green. Maintenance said it was due to the water running through copper pipes, though who knows the accuracy of that statement.

The second day I went alone and it was even murkier as the brand was barely visible as seen in the photograph above.

The third time it resembled glacial melt. None of this prevented me from swimming (a huge bonus compared to the previous residency in 2008 - access to a pool in 90º August weather). We will see if I contract a rare disease, though we were assured that the chemical balances were fine each and every time.
