My friends and I also had devised ways in which to meet young men on the lake. Green's Basin Girl's sister and I would gather the canoes and the younger girls in our lake neighborhood (including GBG), and canoed from Green's Basin all the way to Melvin Village. Our plan? We pretended to be a girls camp (we even had a name based on our last names: Camp Lehweeschni. We older gals were the "counselors" and the younger ones were the "campers". In those days, there were always numerous boy's camps on canoe trips, and our plan worked!
Another very successful way to meet boys on the lake: we pretended to have engine trouble (tried and true, I know!), but it worked every time. We'd disconnect the fuel line and pull, pull away at our motors. The things we did to meet young men on the lake!
Wonderful memories! Does anyone remember the Teen Haven dances at the Weirs? A favorite spot for us (lake gals) and a great place to meet other teens, local and otherwise.
