Hiker Sees Ladder Sticking Out Of Lake, Then He Realizes What It’s Attached To

Still Standing

Marcus looked back at the ladder with new eyes. It wasn’t random debris or something dumped illegally. It was the access ladder to a ranger platform that had been standing at the bottom of the lake for nearly forty years, slowly disappearing as the water crept higher. The structure beneath the surface was the platform’s wooden deck, still intact, still bolted to its concrete footings.
