To everyone concerned, we lived in N.J. and no there was no Rt. 93 then, there was no NJ turnpike either, it used to take us 12 hours to get to the Lake. In later years we made it in about 6 and one half hours. We had a place in Spindle Point,outside of Meredith, a beautiful piece of property with a natural cove beach, protected from the wind, by the landscape, and a lovely area for a dock, which was wonderful on really windy days. You boaters know how that is, I am sure I don't have to explain! I hope this doesn't upset anyone but my friends and I had a routine to meet girls. We would water ski up and down Meredith Bay and if we saw girls floating on air rafts that looked interesting we would fall from the boat, accidently of course, and strike up a conversation. In those days if you had a boat that went 40 MPH you had something. We hardly ever ventured out at night, just to see the fireworks at the Weirs,which now that I think about it was almost a suicide mission, you could'nt see a thing! Thank goodness there was no boat traffic back then! We had to almost feel our way back home. I will go on and on, just give me a chance. I haven't even started about my scuba diving and what that lead me to!
