HELLO, I WAS BORN AND REARED IN GILES COUNTY VIRGINIA, AND PLAYED IN SINKING CREEK. THE ONE THING THAT MY DAD AND MOM ALWAYS TOLD ME, NEVER GO TO THE WHIRL POOL. THAT IS WHERE THE CREEK GOES DOWN IN CIRCLES AND IT WILL SUCK YOU DOWN WITH IT. I TOOK THEM FOR THEIR WORD, I NEVER DID. SOMETIME THE CREEK RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE NEW RIVER (WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF RAIN, LIKE IN THE WINTER) AND AT OTHER TIMES, IT IS DRY AS A BONE. JUST THOUGHT YOU ALL MAY WANT TO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT THIS CREEK. HOWARD
