My father's parent bought our camp in the 1920's and everyone came (my mom's family, friends, etc) every summer thereafter. So, it is just where we go and I wouldn't trade it for any place on earth.

I wouldn't change it either although there have been lots of changes. Things just happen. We are in Alton. McGrath's store blew up - happens. The pavilion went under and then, sadly, burned to the ground. These things are unavoidable. However, there is now a proposal to put a public beach on Echo Point. They would have to widen the road and several camps/cottages would be taken over by the town and destroyed. It would ruin Echo Point for the dozens of homeowners and hundreds of visitors each summer.

That is the sort of change that doesn't just happen and it should be stopped.
