The details of my life are quite inconsequential...
My wife and I live on Long Island, New York. Started coming up to NH in the 70's - a good friend of the family had a place on Cow Island. Spent 2 weeks a year in paradise there and went to Camp Belknap for 5 years.
Our friends sold the place a few years ago and we were heartsick. This Fall, we stumbled upon our own piece of paradise via the Internet (Island Real Estate) and jumped at it. We're on the south end of Rattlesnake with a view towards Wolfboro.
This will be our first summer at our own camp!

Lots of work ahead but this forum has been a great source of information. Thanks to all!
