Pair Caught Skinny Dipping In Portland Reservoir

(AP) Two people caught skinny dipping in a Portland reservoir that is a main source of water for the city nearly caused officials to dump millions of gallons of water and close the facility.

Ryan Langsdorf, 28, and Ashley Moyer, 23, were found in one of two sections of the Mount Tabor Reservoir at about 3 a.m. Saturday during a spell of unusually hot weather. They were cited for trespassing.

But the two were swimming in a section of the reservoir that was not being used. Had that section been in use, water bureau officials say they would have had to dump millions of gallons of water from that pool and possibly shut off the reservoir.

Earlier this year, millions of gallons of water were dumped when someone put latex paint, a construction cone and hundreds of flyers into the water.

You know you really need a bath when you can pollute an entire reservior just by swimming in it.

That reservoir is about a half mile from me, so theoretically, I would be drinking that water, BUT, the thing is about 500'x500'x50'.... I can't imagine that I would get that badly hurt by one errant sperm that might have been let loose in the thing that might just get to me.

But these are pretty rude people.

BTW, there is an ordinance on the books here in Portland that was passed three or four years ago that it is violation of city code to have sex on picnic tables in city parks.  A similarly simian couple had a tryst on one next to a school picnic, and when the cops came to arrest them, they found out there was no law against it, so now there is.
