Scenic swim location

Cool, are you part of staff or get it on an auction?

I asked the security guard whether people ever jumped in.  He said it's a $100 ticket and an escort off the property.  After looking at how much they auction them for, I thought that was actually a pretty good deal, plus you get a private ride down the hill! 

My wife is a volunteer docent with the Living History program, her volunteer work (getting dressed up in 20/30's clothes and hanging out at the castle during evening tours) enabled us to partake in one of the Employee swims.

Beyond that, it usually takes an auction or expensive charity event to dip your toes in the pool.

Nice - we went to one of the evening tours last year.

As an aside, my grandfather was a visitor back in the Hearst days and makes a short appearance with Charlie Chaplin in the movie.  Always fun to watch!
