Скачать или смотреть Swim in Le Lac Vert, Mercantour National Park, France

A short swim in Le Lac Vert in the French Mercantour National Park. July 4, 2017. The water was cold! Out of our group of about 20 hikers no one else even considered the possibility of taking a dive into this lake. I think they thought I was a little crazy. But, it sure felt good! Some folks watching from the other shore clapped or hooted or something when I went in the water. My friend Frédérique, who recorded this, yelled back, "He's an American!" I guess that explained it. Frédérique also mentioned that if I had a heart attack or something due to the extreme temperature of the water, no one was coming in to rescue me, so I was on my own. Now that I know this is possible, I'm taking a bathing suit on all future hikes into the mountains!
