Description

Carl Ambrosini's daughter wrote: "My dad (Carl) and his brother (Frank) Ambrosini always called this 'The Boogang.'" This is a rare photograph of a fabled spot in Los Gatos history. The boys of the town spent long summer days at this location. "No Girls Allowed" was the rule at this old swimming hole south of town. The pool was formed when the San Jose Water Company built a dam across the creek. Some boys switched their allegiance to the municipal plunge when it opened in 1927. AMB002
