Well, I am 48 (just typing it makes me gag) and I live for those days on the lake.
Now, my boys are 12 and 14 and they, too, live for their days on the lake. I clearly remember thinking Lake Winnie was in the sticks, boring as all get out and the worst place ever during my teen years and early twenties. I guess we start out smart and then have a middling period when we are incredibly stupid. My boys aren't quite there yet and I hope they never get there.
Of course, having a TV and a boat helps. Didn't have those back in the 70's. We didn't even have a regular phone. We had a party line well into my high school years.
