FL 40. You could have been on Keniston Island. Mount is coming out of Wolfeboro. There are only 12 Light Buoys without a red/black companion buoy.
That's my guess.Good luck.

Or Barndoor? We kind of thought the mountains look like Alton.

The picture of the bicycle rider plainly shows Mt Chocorua in the distance on the right.

If that pic is from 3 mile looking to the north, I’d say it’s Mt Washington, versus Mt Chocorua. Chocorua is farther to the east.

Thank you for the many suggestions/ideas - many more than I could have ever thought of myself.

I'll be on the lake this summer trying to narrow this down and I'll update this thread if I'm able to figure it out. I have to believe the key will be with that island in perspective to the mountain view. Maybe I get lucky and the actual camp is still there and recognizable against the photo.

It also occurred to me that, as I assume these photos were taken in the middle of the day, it feels to me that the shade is gradually encroaching on the dock while the background shorelines are in full sun. Perhaps this reinforces that the camp is on the eastern to southern shore of the island/mainland (taking my brothers shadow on the dock into consideration).

Usually I'm a very frequent reader of the forum. However, this time of year there usually isn't much activity so I haven't looked at it in a bit, but now that my neighbor's walked over tonight. + asked me about this mystery, I wish I'd seen it sooner (although I do love the detective work that everyone has been doing)

The house is located just behind light buoy number 4 on Pine Island. I purchased it in 1998, and rented it out for several years, until starting to rebuild it in 2011.

I have hundreds of pictures of the old house, and the new house, which I will gather together and put in a Google photo album for you.

You are AWESOME, Pine Island Guy. I am so excited!!! No, I understated that; I'm EXTREMELY EXCITED. Can't wait to share this thread with my wife, brother and sister.

Pine Island would have been the first place I would have checked this summer given the feedback from the Forum. It makes sense that my Dad may have rented a boat from Y Landing or Sheps. Pine Island is the FIRST place I'll take my ski when I get it in the water this year.

Can you explain the meaning of what's written on the rock?

I can't believe that after all this, the camp is now owned by a Forum member. This has been a great experience. Can't wait to see the album. Do you summer there now?

Did I say you are AWESOME!!!?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Perhaps OK that you came late to the party. With 3.000+ readers in four days, and ~30 posts, this thread has been a lot of fun. Thanks to the OP and PIG.

Agreed—I really loved this one.
