I agree that is the really sad part. What I consider even sadder, is that all those trees have been ripped out of a piece of land that was once used as a summer camp. Now it is certainly not the owner's fault that the camp went under, but it just really seems like a shame. I spent 6 years @ Camp Belknap in Tuftonboro and believe strongly in the value of these summer camps for kids. What a huge asset it is to have a place where kids who have never seen a lake or a mountain come for a few weeks and learn more about the world they live in. And the values I took away from Camp Belknap have helped guide me in alot of experiences in life. I would certainly like to be in the position to purchase a place like that, but I would hope that if I was, I wouldn't actually do it. I just wonder how much "the great spirit" smiles as the choppers and private jets criss cross the lake.
