When we moved to NH in 1996 and moved in with Mom, within a day or two, she said "you don't have to go 'Upthesaukee, you live here now. "
Mom passed away in 2000 and when I joined the Forum a few years later, I could think of no better username than Upthesaukee.
It's now been 76 years and two boats later, and I'm still Upthesaukee!

I grew up on the NH/ Maine border, and a lot of folks use Upta Camp..." Are you going Upta camp this weekend"? Back then, any structure on the lake, no matter the size, was called a camp
