I started going to the "Lake" in the mid 50's. We used to stay at Model Cottages which were on dirt road over weirs bridge towards gilford fire station. As a kid remeber wating for noon when mount and sophie c would cross andwakes were huge for raft riding. As got older loved walking to Weirs and chasing girls. Not sure what i would have done if i caught one but half the fun is in trying I guess. remember seeing Beach boys at Irwin gardens. In thelate 60's reality set in and I didnt see much of lake until mid 70's when family bought place in Meredith. Now go up with two older daughters 20 and 18 and my 3 year old son(retirement Present I guess) cant get enough of place
