I was just reading this thread now that colder weather is here and I spend more time inside. The maps are great! Interesting about the water quality. One of the things that the Lake has going for...

lsland living

I too grew up with summers at the island. It was a 4 hour trip from Mass and once we got there we stayed. There were always sticks to pick up, forts to build, deer to watch for, morning swims and...

Water Level

I noticed today that there was water flowing over the dam from Lake Waukewan, so I guess it isn't too low. When I was little (about 50 -55 years ago)when we came up to the island to close up I used...

overnights

Towns are more lax in the offseason. I do reject the idea that towns accomodate trailered boats when they do not accomodate their own land owners. In Meredith there are hundreds of water front...

getting older

Thanks for the idea - I know it didn't have anything to do with horseboats but I couldn't figure out how else to post it in this forum. Of course in that vein, in the old days the Lake was used for...

getting older - new alternatives

I found out that I am seriously getting older when I took my kayak out to Bear Island to check on the closing up process. I couldn't get out of the thing! Then I had trouble getting it on top of...

fall

Glad you are coming up. Don't forget that we are further north than you are so it is colder up here. There aren't many boats on the lake now, many cottages have been closed up so if you are on the...

interesting!

Do you know of anyway of copying that great chart? I'd love to put it up on the wall and look for houses that are still standing, railroads long forgotten, etc.

politically correct

So, I must be politcally correct in my use of terms must I? Perhaps I am old fashioned because I'm old. I thought I got my point accross. I did not enjoy being labeled by someone who doesn't even...

That sort of thing scares the heck out of me. Sometimes someone will go out for a paddle in the dark - no lights. Back when my husband and i went out quite a bit in the dark, he drove and I stood...

camp

I too prefer a camp over a McMansion; I enjoy cozy areas; I like to relax without "boundries"; to quietly become one with nature; to allow my mind to drift and dream; to be free from "shoulds and...

I don't see a lot of bad feelings against colored people; I personally am still surprised when I see one but actually I have never heard anything against them in 50 years. Thirty years ago a mixed...

Are Mcmansions seasonal? Camps are, pretty much. Camps have character, they are camps, not houses. They are for trying to blend in with nature and the surroundings, not make an impact statement. ...

Sears houses

Yup, Sears as in Sears and Roebuck. Of course they don't offer them any more - stopped in the twenties or thirties, but they sold maybe 75,000 or them. They were nice houses and I guess a lot of...

overheating

I hope you shut it down immediately. Is it a new boat or used? Most marine engines are water cooled, impellers are rubber and wear out. Replacing an impeller is pretty routine maintenance. ...

bubbler

On an island you put it in the last thing (ours goes in Dec.). You don't have to turn it on the minute you put it in. Use a timer also. Unfortunately the lake level goes up and down so it has to...
