[jerseyonbear]

The name explains. I'm from New Jersey and I think Bear Island is the greatest place on earth. I started spending several weeks each summer with my parents back in the early 1950's on Bear when food was kept in an ice box a real one kept cold with ice. There were no flushies back then only the old house. I loved it and after having my own children brought them to the island and they now come with their children. We spend a lot of quality time together and enjoyed having great grandmom with us for a lot of years.The area has changed so much over the past 50 years but still has that magical hold. There is nothing better than the morning cup of coffee and watching the loons as the steam rises from the lake
