We spent two hours at one of these places, and we chatted up the owners about future visits. There is a spacious bathroom outside in a building on a concrete slab, which is perfect. There is a spacious shower. There is access to a huge BBQ grill. We can get in and out through a gate without pestering the owner. The pool has broad steps on one end with widely-spaced hand rails that seem sturdy enough.
The chaise lounges are sketch for large people, but there is a concrete ledge on which we can sit on floats, close to the grill and the bathroom. Tall girl tested that out with one of the owner's 18-pocket suntanners, and that seemed to startle the him. Said he'd never again wonder about the sturdiness of those things, and was immediately embarrassed for having said that. Her comic timing is perfect, allowing him to hang himself before she bust out laughing. She had him in stitches laughing so much. I think he really liked her.
We took it easy on the owner's large swim ring and one-person air mattresses. Did sink the latter, though, and some smaller swim rings, and I'm not going to say we were easy on those lol. I had my own Swimline double air mattress, and we didn't spare that some abuse. Tall Girl is pretty strong and we were able to make a credible effort to both get on the float. Didn't succeed, but it was fun trying.
Summer is finally here.
