All I can say is the Lakes Region imbues a sense of restoration for me to this day.
As someone who had family property right on the water, 40 foot dock, boathouse, two car detached garage in West Alton since 1954 you will never loose the fabulous memories that Winni bestows.
My uncles trophy wife did not like what I always referred to as "paradise" so she convinced him to not sell, but auction off the property, gone in 15 minutes, October of 2005.
To use the lyrics, "you don't know what you got 'til its gone" rings so true. A chunk of my heart disappeared on that raw October morning. Painful, but happy to see other people using the property when I cruise by in the boat. I could not recommend more fervently to immerse yourself in the best location of New England. Do it!
