We have had a family place on a popular lake since the late 50's. My parents were downstate educators so I spent my entire summers there through my teenage years. Began to really appreciate the area during my late twenties. Now in my mid fifties, we are one of the last with original structures on our bay. Lake is still beautiful, but I prefer the quieter,less congested, and less noisy times of Autumn.

On the plus side, I got back to home in near record time on Sunday😀.
