Anyone else notice that in the older photos of the lake (pre 70's) that there were fewer trees on the lake and a lot more open land? I even look at the scenic look out on Rt 11 and it is pretty much gone. Yet we have a agnecy telling us that we need to leave the trees alone on the waterfront, yet they were not there 20 plus years ago??? This has come up for discussion a couple of times and i was wondering if people had the same problem. I am not saying clear cut everything, but if we were trying to get things back to the way things were, those would not be there?
