Does anyone remember what a great view of the lake you could get from an old lookout off Scenic Dr. after you go through the Weirs? (You know, the road that leads to the Tamarack via the back way - which incidentally during Bike Week is converted to a "One Way", hint, hint.)

It's on the right-hand side with a little paved parking area (which is way overgrown with brush now). Anyway, if you're looking at this not-so-scenic outlook now from the road, there is a retaining wall to the left. That's where we allegedly left our marks.

As teenagers, we used to pull our cars down a little and walk to the edge, where you'd have a great view of Eagle Island and be right over the railroad tracks to watch the train go by.
