The Avon Rec Center gave two thumbs up to World Champion Lizzie Hoeschler when she asked to put a big cedar log in their indoor swimming pool.  As the ski mountains closed down for the year, kids who had just put away their skis, came flocking to the pool like the salmon of Capistrano (or was it swallows).

Lizzie reports that kids in Vail are just like kids everywhere: crazy (for log rolling!).  Avon has a nice outdoor pond that she is working to get permission for a summer program. 

The Rocky Mountains are fertile ground for log rolling programs; everyone is sports-crazed and oriented toward off-beat activities. I predict that in a few years there could be some major cedar-spinning happening at 10,000 feet.
