Mark Hart, Airport Camp/Flats Swimming Hole, Gerle Creek, down and behind the old Airport Barracks location. Diving board was a basic affair put together by old Airport Camp users from the Forrest Service or even earlier, from the US Army and CCC. The carpet was installed on the diving board by Gordon Brattland Lot 24 so the children would not get splinters.
