The name Long Pine is just based on the island in the Varneys that is a major part of my view. The avatar (assuming I set it up correctly) is a picture that has been posted on the forum before that showed that part of "On Golden Pond" was filmed on Winnipesaukee. It is Billy going past Long Pine Island.
My history is much shorter than most of those documented here. We have only been coming to Winni for the last several years (not decades). Nonetheless, we are hooked. I loved reading the stories though about all of your experiences at the lake that spanned generations. I have been reading the forum almost daily for the last several months and really appreciate the webcams, photoposts, ice-out reports, etc. You are an incredibly helpful group of people and I feel like I know many of you from your posts. I'm hoping to be able to reciprocate when a topic comes up on which I can be helpful.
We are counting down the days now until we get up there this year!
