You miss the point

This is a forum to discuss lake topics. Those of you that want to make off topic political snipes just because you think it's somehow entertaining corrode one of the core values of this forum. ...

Ice report from Cattle Landing to Mink Island

My wife and I made the trek out on foot this morning.

Looked a little tricky getting on the ice at the Cattle Landing docks so we went about 100 yds to the left where there is easier access just...

Good grief.

Does every post have to devolve into snide political comments? Gets pretty tiresome, frankly.

Mink Island update

Since NYC and the markets were shut down today, I took the suddenly open calendar as an opportunity to load in kerosene for the winter on Mink. Power is out - but I knew that. All I have to do is...

Why do you have to hijack threads?

There are plenty of other sites to go if you want to debate political topics of the day. This started as an interesting LAKE ORIENTED post about lake home prices and market dynamics. Sadly, though...

mind those crank up docks

Those of you who have already pulled up your docks for the season need to make sure you tied off both sides. Not so many winters ago we had a decent blow and it bent and destroyed a bunch of dock...

Ugh, can we try to keep this on topic

Talking about the local real estate market is interesting.

Bloviating over who is to blame for the mortgage crisis -- not so much.

Skin in the game

One of the lessons learned from the real estate bubble is that folks that don't have skin in the game are more likely to default their mortgage and throw the keys on the table if their home's value...

I'll second that.

I have always found the Gilford town clerk's office to be very prompt and efficient. Pleasure to deal with.

Cattle Landing update

Well, I drove up this morning to check things out personally. Unfortunately, not only is the Cattle Landing dock area a complete mess thanks to Island Services' airboat (cmon guys how about just a...

Smart money??

Conditions on the lake are highly variable this year. Some bays are well locked in and have seen ample activity (Alton Bay, 19 Mile Bay to name two). I've heard reports of 10" or more of ice. More...

Cattle Landing

I'll be coming up early Friday morning expecting to make my trek from Cattle Landing to Mink Island. I'll post a report then. I'll be cutting holes as I go so will have good "boots on the ground"...

Don't think so

No, I don't think there is such a list. But if you're looking for reports on specific parts of the lake, a lot of members do post updates throughout the season. You focused on any area in...

Cattle Landing

Yes, it's owned by the Town of Meredith and there's a public parking lot directly above it. No ramp, well, because the slope is so steep there it wouldn't be feasible. And what's so wrong with...

How to keep holes from freezing over...

A few thoughts:

1) If there is ample snow on the lake, then after you set your line, simply fill the hole with snow and mound it up a foot or more all the way around. The snow insulates well and...

Sheesh is right

You DO need a lesson. You can vote in NH because you are a U.S. Citizen (like I suspect everyone is on this forum) AND because you are a RESIDENT of the state and of a specific town within the state...

I think you are confused. We are all citizens of the United States. You are a RESIDENT of NH. And this is a website for people interested in topics important to the Lakes Region. Residency in NH is...

It's a forum not a notice board

People start threads to share ideas, ask questions, debate topics. This is the first I've seen of someone starting a post (first post for them ever, I might add), and then say their thread isn't...

Fees for non resident property owners

I agree we should be treated as residents for such things as fishing licenses and snowmobile registrations. But that's a state, not a town issue. Show me the state rep that will lift his/her pinkie...

Another review

I decided to swing in to the Tamarack for an early dinner yesterday. I had the whole clam plate dinner plus a large Pepsi. Total cost almost $23!

The clams were great. Nicely fried. Not greasy....
