Alton Erosion

Just as you come in to Alton Bay from West Alton, to your right is an enclosed little bay with summer camps dotting the hillside in the back part of the bay. From one central piece of the hillside, there seems to be a dirt or rock area from nearly the top of the hill going down to the water. During the winter, there seemed to be some sort of a retainage net there. Have been curious for some time - was there some sort of a landslide or erosion there. Seems to me (I could be mistaken) that it wasn't always like that years ago. Finally decided to ask the Forum; am sure that wise "upthesaukee" knows the answer or gh from alton.
