I have been going to the Lake for many, many years, however, in the last 10 years or so, I have only been to the lake a few times. There are many reasons why I have stopped going to the lake. The biggest thing is when you look for a place to stay (in formiliar place) all the cottages and camps have been turned into private homes and if they are renting, the cost is outragious! I can not afford those prices. Then there's the other costs to factor in, Gas, Boat Rental, All kinds of Lake Laws and once on the lake all the places you use to go, you can't, there's what you call a McMansion there! So now maybe once in five years I'll go up for a day and if I should have some extra cash, stay overnight in a real cheep motel, if I can find one!
However, the lake that I once knew is still in my head and all the joyest memories are there. I'm sure as time goes on the number of people visiting the lake will keep falling. To bad how money eats up a good thing!
Greed a terrible cancer!
