Default Since the 1930's I believe.

My Great Aunt and Great Uncle Millie and Jim Foster had a place at Lake Shore Park. First was a platform on which was erected a wall tent. Then they were allowed to build a cabin on the platform. It was white, had a small screened porch on the front, and was called the Wee Hoose (wee house, in Scottish dialect). Mom went up there in her youth before WWII, and after she married Dad in 1944 and the war ended, they started going up there. I was born in 1946 and spent some time that summer, and have been at the lake ever since, at least once a year for over 68 years. As the signature says, I live here, I am always Upthesaukee.

I did go to Camp Lawrence for about 4 years, and even have ancestral history there: My Uncle David was a counselor in the 1930's.

Don't know how I missed this thread the first time around. Start of an age thing????
