Back then, Johnson's Cove might have had a fishing boat or two on any one weekend. Turtles climbed floating timbers reclaimed from forest giants wrecked by the Hurricane of 1938. The timbers were cut into dimensional lumber at the large mill sited next to Forest Road. The mill and its floating "rafts" of logs (hundreds) dominated the cove for decades, falling into extreme disrepair until new houses appeared across the street. (Making for poor "curb appeal").The entire two-story mill and its giant circular saw blade then disappeared.

Funny that over decades, "rafts" of logs got replaced by "rafts" of party boats!

The slalom course was new to me and my bride in 1980.

But nice to have confirmation of my several posts (here at the forum) regarding that slalom course!

No.

The course wasn't IN Johnson Cove though, it was above it, closer to where the Horn's used to live.
