Because the state launch ramps that access Newfound, Squam, Winnisquam, and now with Downing's Landing in Alton Bay on Winnipesaukee, the State F & G has built free-to-use access constructed with boater registration fees ...... that's the plan and they are sticking to it ....... Live Free or Die!
Downing's was just purchased about 18-months ago for 1-million dollars, and the F & G deserves a lot of kudos for getting that done. Sooner or later, the ramp, dock and parking will all get up-graded to a much better construction quality ....... the F & G is just waiting for the money to show up ......where's the money.......where's the money ....where's the money?
Can you believe this.....u-know there was a high ranking F & G officer ....just the other day....down at the Curbside Treasures Pawn Shop on Elm St, next to the Winnipesaukee Lakeport Dam ...... anyway.....he was there inside the pawn shop wanting to pawn his bright red dress F & G uniform for 20-dollars cash.....so's he could get some cash to gas up the F & G pickup and get back to the F & G district office ......honest!
When there's no money....not much gets done.....like, why is that?
(pssst-ditto that for the state owned Meredith Neck Rd)
