Relatively peaceful Winter Harbor has a Tuftonboro gun range and one resident who blasts away with a high-powered rifle. (Wish I knew what he's using for a backstop, as the woods aren't that thick!)


Mostly in western reaches of Lake Winnipesaukee, you'll be treated to military air traffic. Personally, I find those brief intrusions reassuring--that the country is alert.

June through September, expect fireworks--mostly after dinner--but at any time after dark. Who knows what they're celebrating? Not far from the Big Lake a single piece of fireworks killed a celebrant.

Weekends, expect amplified "music" from boats. Those boaters who don't load up on loudspeakers, open their (recently-legalized) unmuffled exhausts to "treat" residents to still more noise.

As one can tell, we don't live "On Golden Pond" any longer.
