Default Where's Becky's Garden!

To All,

If you don't know what Becky's Garden is, it is a few feet in diameter island out near Tiny 2 Mile Island, Near Center Harbor.

Usually someone puts out a tiny looking dollhouse on this Little Rock area.

By now it should be up, It is usually out before the Fourth.

Very Confused,
If any one knows anything about this, Please Reply

Search the Gallery for "Becky" for some good pictures including this one I posted in 2003:



Search the forum too for threads like this one.

Our place is behind Black Cat Island. I left a couple of days before the Fourth of July weekend and did not see anything on it. May have something to do with the lake level? Not much space there to start with.

Did you bother to look at what our webmaster posted? That is exactly what you are looking for. As others have stated, Becky doesn't want her house washed away during "high tide" lol

Formerly (or possibly also) known as Beggar's Garden!

Default As long as we are on the subject

The town of Meredith currently assesses Becky's place at $2500, I suppose cheap for island living

I don't see an incolet stack on her roof, wonder how she does it ?

As I understand it .... the "Someone" who places Becky's summer home on the island each year are the owners of 2 mile island and also the recipients of the $2,500 assessment and associated taxes...........

Phantom, I am saying "what" because I can't believe that island is assessed at $2500. I think I would donate it to the town!!!

The house appears to have a new roof this year! It also says "propety of two mile Island" on it.
