“The community. You see people that you haven’t seen in years here, and it’s just, I’ve been coming here since I was born, basically,” Devlin said.<\/p>\n
Now, she’s bringing her own child to Antietam Pool.<\/p>\n
“It’s just kind of nice to now be able to expand it to my generation, my children, and bring him back here,” Devlin said.<\/p>\n
A few miles away, summer got a last-minute extension. Blue Marsh’s swim beach closed Friday because of elevated E. coli levels. New testing came back safe, allowing it to reopen Saturday.<\/p>\n
“With it not being far, it’s nice. The lake’s not too crowded in the water and it’s not too deep. So I can let my children just kind of venture a little bit,” said Ashley Kimball.<\/p>\n
Ashley came with her husband and three children, taking advantage of the sunny holiday.<\/p>\n
“I was very surprised, but it turned out to be awesome to kind of end the summer,” Kimball said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOWER ALSACE TWP., Pa. \u2014 For Becca Devlin, summers have always included Antietam Pool. “The community.
