Five decades since boyhood summers at White Lake, a writer returns to see what time has changed — and what the water remembers.

Grab your goggles and dive into historic pools and nostalgic swimming holes, where cool relief and summer traditions have stood the test of time.
The smoky signature on our summer dinners isn’t the only lingering effect of an evening spent around the grates.
