• Yankee self-reliance and community spirit,
• nice people without a cocky attitude,
• Natural Science Center in Holderness,
• my old prep school (New Hampton)
• sailing, sailing, sailing,
• fishing, fishing, fishing,
• the smell of pine in the air,
• terrain that is not just flat,
• tolerable summer heat...

I think we could spend our entire drive up there naming reasons why we want to live in the lakes region.

But..I imagine someone from New York City could spend their entire ride down to Ocean Grove naming reasons why they would want to live here.

If you can imagine extreme envy....I'm a new shade of GREEN! We are only able to enjoy the lakes region around our time off from work in MA. We have long term plans to make our time at the lake a much more permanent thing.
Welcome! and enjoy (Greener with envy by the second)!)

Cate, in your first posting on this forum, you voiced concern about you and your partner being accepted in the Lakes Region communities. I hope the response you've gotten from people on this forum have allayed all your fears. Reading through the postings on the threads you've started, I find such a warm, welcoming, loving group of people that it makes me so proud to live here. I think posters have been from all the towns around the lake and everyone would love it if you moved to their town. I think when you finally get to move here, no matter which town you choose, you'll feel just like this former Jersey Girl feels, that you've arrived in Heaven!!

By the way, you ate at two of my favorite restaurants for when we go over to Gilford to the movies; O's Steaks and Seafood and The Ellacoya Barn and Grill. Love them both!! Sometimes we go over to O's just for the meal without the movie!!
