Default Winnisquam West To East Pics from Lower Bay

Thanks for the pictures, my camera is just a little bit north of your view but with the same objects, if I turn my head to the right . . .

An active saw mill was located on the east side where the new houses are being built. That is where the lumber came from in the 50's to build our dwellings, father/grandfather. When I was a kid in the early 70's we boated over to the mill in July, climbed on top of the massive saw dust pile to jump off, kids . . .

After a few jumps, moving a lot of saw dust, we found 12" inches of snow, remember, that is how they used to insulate lake ice for summer consumption.

Our first snow ball fight in July wearing bathing suits, the evidence melted before we got back to the west side.

Best part of the lake, remember it just like yesterday . . .
