30 Years!

webmaster · 07-30-2025, 11:11 PM

I have to note that 30 years ago today I registered the name winnipesaukee.com and began to build a crude site as I learned HTML and the workings of the WWW. I had just sold our house in Moultonboro (a big mistake) and thought working on a Lakes Region webpage would keep me connected to the area. It sure did. The first feature was a series of aerial pictures that are still available here. A few years later I figured out how to add a forum and other interactive features that are still available today. For 24 years the WeirsCAM provided live views from its perch on the Winnipesaukee Pier. Our Forumfests around the lake were great fun.

It has been a great hobby for 30 years and has created many ups and downs for me. Mostly ups. Unfortunately, for financial and technical reasons I have some decisions to make about its future.

A sincere thanks to everyone that participates and contributes to the site. Some of you have been regular visitors for 25 years or more!
