CA Roadtrip: $750 swim

The Neptune Pool at Hearst Castle. Melody asked one of the guards if anyone ever falls in the pool, and he said that yes they do, and that when they do they have to call a park ranger who determines if the fall was intentional or not. If they determine that it is intentional, you get cited $750. Then he said that a fellow guard overheard a visitor saying that she'd pay a thousand dollars to swim in the pool, and the guard said that she could save herself $250 by just jumping in.
