Question Grand View Commons—Roads Closed...

Some news: a "cam" has since been added. In addition, the speed limit at Carry Beach has been reduced from 30- to 20-MPH.

The convenants included a large tract of forest "...that shall remain intact in Perpituity...". The property has since been bought by the Marriott family, so who knows where that's going.

The future's not going in favor of the many dog-walkers: the formerly-open roads towards the lake are now closed off. (Those roads were opened by Grand View Commons in 2005).

This month, there are new occupants of the one "exhibit" home. I'll have to guess that last week's impromptu biker road-race has resulted in the closing of those roads.

One private road uphill—away from the lake—remains open, but people live in year-round homes there, and are likely to report any further abuses of these few miles of private roadways.

Unresolved is the future of Camp Ossipee's ancient forest: In researching that, I stumbled upon this little blurb that might be of interest to those campers who formerly attended Camp Wyanoke a short walk down the street:

Quote:
"...In the 1950s and ’60s, the Irons family spent summers on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Mrs. Irons managed the private Camp Ossipee at the tip of Wolfeboro Neck while her husband coached tennis and ran the counselor-training program at nearby Camp Wyanoke, where the sons were all campers and then counselors..."
