Winni Memories
I'll echo everyone else's comment -- what a great thread (particuarly in the winter!).
Favorite Lake Memory: As a kid, with my Dad. Back then we rented out what used to be Camp Kiwanis(sp?) from the Link family. The place was huge (right near Shep's), but the main cabin was small and had originally been the camp's ice house. Underneath the house was where the boats were kept... it had a dirt floor and that wonderful lake smell that you can't get enough of. My Dad and I would take one of the 3 sunfish out any day when the wind was good enough. I would squirm my way up to the point of the boat, lay on my tummy and hold on. We'd stay out as long as we could, most of the time in silence.
To this day whenever I'm feeling stressed I can take myself back to that place and remember what's most important. Thank you fellow Winni lovers, when I tell people now that I've got a place on the lake, on an island, that I don't get to use nearly enough, with taxes, etc... (and all the adventures that come with that) they look at me like I'm crazy. But they've never been on the lake!
See you this summer!
