The pool that never was...

This was the closest we got to cleaning out this old rundown pool. It was situated behind some sketchy hotel near my house and was spotted by our buddy Paul Eibeler. The hotel was one of those spots with the hourly rates for dudes lookin for a little rubb-n-tugg or underagers trying to get their drink on. We decided that the hotel and surrounding were such a shit hole that whoever ran the place wouldnt really care that we were cleaning out their pool for free. The pool originally had a cover but was half sank in the muddy water and half torn off the side of the pool deck. On our first scope out mission a pump was found in some ghetto ass shed. We (Paul, Terra and I) decided to come back the next night maned up with shovels and a light socket to plug converter. We doubted that the pump would work, but it started right up. We rigged the thing to screw into a light socket near the back of the hotel so every night when they turned the lights on the pump would go on. It was genius. It wasnt pumping out massive amounts of water but after a few nights it had done its job the best it could. We were left with a bunch of mudd, leaves, sticks and other random garbage to clear out by hand. We put in some hours and were pretty much ready to ride the thing... then we got caught. Either they knew all along that we were helping solve the mosquito problem they had brewing from the standing water or it was just bad timing. In the end.... we never got to ride it. We went back a few nights later and they had secured a brand new cover that was strapped down tighter then a nuns undies.That clover deep looked so good. Some of the edges were falling apart but it would have been a blast to ride. Made for some cool lines and back edges to fuf/stall. Oh well... as usual the search continues.
