Wishing you and your family many happy days on the lake.

I applaud your no electronics rule!

But there is an old saying that "no plan survives first contact with the enemy". I would paraphrase that to "no electronics rule survives first contact with teenagers". Good Luck!

We have some very dear friends who are sort of going through the same deal. In fact you are almost neighbors.

Some time ago there was a thred giving advice on living on an island. Good stuff like... keep a spare set of car keys on the mainland and keep a spare set of house keys on the island. Stuff like that. I tell ya, you island folk (how did that sound?) have to deal with issues that us mainlanders don't.

It was a fun thred and very informative. Perhaps some of your island neighbors can throw a little advice your way.

Good luck!

Misty.

Many folks who are located on the east side of Bear Island from "The Carry" south to Camp Lawrence belong to the East Bear Island Association. Originally, this group shared the maintenance of the East Bear Island mail dock. A small beach abuts this location.
