Am I the only one that thinks this type of behavior by anyone is absolutely disgusting? So if you are fortunate enough to have property on this beautiful waterfront, that is still not enough for you? You have to lay claim to the very few public spots on the lake to keep the "undesirables" (like me ) away?
This is appalling. I consider myself a good nieghbor in every way. Even in the house I rent on Meredith Bay, I am always thinking about the other guys out there. Probably to a fault. I would never want to affect someone"s enjoyment of the lake. (unless they were being a bonehead of course).
You dont own the lake and you dont own the public spots. If you dont want other people around go buy your own lake and fence it off. Sorry for going off topic, but attitudes like this by some upper crusty land owners are ruining the experience for all of us that have to be happy seeing the lake by boat. Pretty soon this will be just like lake Taho. A playground for the rich and elite. That indeed would be a sad day.

Sorry for the rant.

Not saying I agree with the town"s granting of the camping permit. I think that could get out of hand. But the landing of a boat to make a beach rest stop? Come on.
