Cal,

Are you still employed by Ma Bell? I have found over the past 15+ years that Labor Day week is one of the nicest to spend at the lake. It seems that by Monday at noon someone pulls a plug and the place empties out. Sandy Point gets very quiet and nice -- the beach is quiet for sunning, reading, etc. Sandy Point restaurant is now serving dinner only, and I believe after next week will be open Fri. night thru Sunday till Columbus Day weekend. As far as other restaurants, the William Tell, Patrick's Pub, Ellacoya Barn & Grille, and the Lyon's Den are year-round. So is Johnson's in New Durham (where Dot's Lunch used to be).

If you're bringing the boat, you just have to make sure to find out which marinas close during the week in Sept. if you need fuel. Our boat will be in the water till the last week in Sept.

This year I'll be spending Labor Day week + the week of 9/20 at the lake. Sure beats NJ! My AT&T brother (gtxrider) will be up from NJ the week of 9/27.

If you come up in Sept. and come by Sandy Point, stop in to say hi at #45. GH
