Russtic,
My family was fortunate enough to have a cabin on the lake throughout my life, except for about 5 years (I'm 41). When growing up, our NJ town had tons of stuff to do for kids. Yet I have only two activities that I remember from our town, and very few memories from either. Swimming in the town pool, and playing softball for about 3 years. There were lots of kids at both -- from all over our town and the surrounding towns. Yet I don't keep in touch with any of them.
We only spent about 2 to 4 weeks at the lake since I can remember; yet I have so many great memories throughout my childhood and teenage years that revolve around my time at the lake. And I met my closest friend up here as a teenager and we remain best friends.
My best memories revolve around the lake. Not sure if this helps, but I hope so!
