I'm just an hour form Wolfeboro & the lake, 10 minutes from Hampton Beach, 45 minutes from Boston, 2 hours from the White mountains and a hour from the Maine coast. Major roads connect through the greater Exeter area as well as the Downeaster rail service. It's by no means, NJ living, but comfortable.

For me, it's all about the excitement of journey up to the lake, it means that; I'm going to be having fun. I've been doing it for the last 35 years, spending weekends on my boat in Wolfeboro. I been there in the worst of times; the ice storm of 88, the blizzard of 93, Hurricane Bob, to those idyllic summer days sailing away to Ragged Island for raft up with fellow club members.

Agree with you WD. Everyone has their own favorite place to live. I LOVE Exeter, but the taxes are as bad as NJ.
