I love this one!
It's pretty neat. I read somewhere that the little pool in Rock Creek was where the nearby church held baptisms back in the day. Maybe they still use it. After all, they are Baptists and do it by immersion as opposed to us Methodists who can get by with a little bowl to sprinkle from. Also, since we practice pedobaptism, as opposed to the Baptists who only do credobaptism, it makes for a lot less wailing babies and toddlers than if you tried dunking them.;)

This is also near the "slotted tree."
