Back during the very late 50's into the early 60's, my friend Skip's dad would take the two of us water skiing late evening or early morning. We would go from Varney Point just north of what is now Gilford beach. We would ski between the point and Locke 's Is, down and around Rattlesnake and back. Generally fairly smooth water and a great run. Sometimes even down into Alton Bay and then back. If we did it without falling, we got to get ice cream at Dorothy 's restaurant in Glendale before going to the trailers across the street, Two Pines Trailer Park, our summer home. Oh, the memories. Boats were first a Chris Craft runabout, and later Century Raven twin screw.

I live here... I am always Upthesaukee.
