And they're half a mile away! 
In olden times, the power in Wolfeboro could go out for hours.
In modern times, the power companies have made drastic cuts of trees and limbs around powerlines; so, what we've gained in convenience has opened the woods for browse for deer. (Increasing herd sizes).
Vistas have opened up: In my drives to Wolfeboro, one can see Moose Mountain and Rattlesnake Island, where no view of either had appeared before. |
You think so? I was talking with several others a while ago and we all thought the power goes out a lot more now than it used to. Do you remember when the Wolfeboro Power Plant generated all the power for the town?
Vistas may have opened up in some places but look at the old pictures from North Main Street by Lakeview Inn (Inn on Main). You could see the lake-it was all fields.
