My earliest remembrance of Rattlesnake were that the only houses on the broads side was a house up towards the west point and one towards the alton side. There was also a couple of rough jetties and a couple of tent platforms. If I remember correctly there was nothing between the measured mile. I thought the same, that no one would ever build there, but I was sure wrong. I remember thinking that when the jetties started to get fixed up that there would be homes there soon. I remember the A-frames on the other side. It seemed like every year at least one was getting "fixed up".
