Memories - I have witnessed two major fires on the campground. The first was the 1945 fire, in person, our cottage was spared, it was on Glenn Ave.
This one is from a distance, Mesa, Az to be precise, the 5th cottage up the hill was our family's.
As far back as I can remember, we spent summers at Alton Bay, spending most of the day in the lake, no shoes, no road, just an old railroad bed. Even to go to Sandy Point you had to go by the back road if driving.
Many a day and evening has been spent on the screened porch of "Bonnie View" which was bought by my aunt and uncle in 1947, more than 60 years worth of good memories, now only memories remain.
