ah come on...let's not drag ancient history into the discussion.....ok...so maybe 1938 was too soon for a ramp...but how about 1978 with Gov Thompson....1988 with Gov Sununu....or 1996 with Gov Merrill...with regards to a Winnipesaukee state launch?
Newfound Lake, Lake Winnisquam, and Squam Lake all now have state launches. All three were built when Gov Shaheen and Gov Lynch were in office. Good things get built when Democrats are in charge, like the new PSU ice arena in Plymouth.
Governor Bensen; May 3, 2003, and the Old Man of the Mountain.....gone but not forgotten....
If Ames Farm Inn gets litigated out of use as the go-to spot for Winnipesaukee then probably the heat will be on for the state to start looking around. Where-o-where could the state build a Winni ramp? Maybe, right at the Ames location......which already has a long time history for being the Winnipesaukee launch ramp.......who knows....?
