Oklahoma is 'south' so hope I get some bites on this...curious if anyone has tried mermaiding at Turner Falls. It seems great for pix (when I went a couple yrs back, pre-tail days) but for swimming in a tail you have to literally go off the beaten path to the huge, deep sections of water beyond the main swimming area (which I again did before I had a tail). A huge mer meet might not be ideal there but has anymer tried alone or with a few others?
