When you see more planes on the lake than boats...
...it might be time to wrap it up!

Maybe a forum photo detective can detect if this Laker Amphibian photo www.seabee.info/teal/thurston.htm shows the airplane beached on a Lake Winnipesaukee sandy beach, shoreline?
A different Laker Amphibian photo down at the bottom of the page from 1968 looks like it could be on Lake Winnipesaukee? Most likely, Laker Amphibians have a cockpit heater and a windshield defroster, just like a car, something that recreational boats do not have. Apparently, this small airplane did not come equipped with any windshield wipers?

More Planes than Boats
If there are more planes than boats on the lake, it's a sure sign that the Alton Runway is open and that a great winter is underway!

Right...was a long season for us. I opened up April 4th, and we're still there!
