The first feature was a series of aerial pictures that are still available here. A few years later I figured out how to add a forum and other interactive features that are still available today. For 24 years the WeirsCAM provided live views from its perch on the Winnipesaukee Pier. Our Forumfests around the lake were great fun.

It has been a great hobby for 30 years and has created many ups and downs for me. Mostly ups. Unfortunately, for financial and technical reasons I have some decisions to make about its future.

A sincere thanks to everyone that participates and contributes to the site. Some of you have been regular visitors for 25 years or more!

I pray that the forum doesn’t go away. I totally get, Don, that you can’t do it forever but I hope there are good options to keep it going. Perhaps a current forum member would be interested in picking it up with training and transition under you??? Only when you are ready of course 20 or so years from now

Such an enjoyable and helpful resource. I hope you can keep us updated on plans/options moving forward. Thank you.
