Greens Basin

Back about 1951, some pals and I left Lake Shore Park in our runabouts (4 of them ) and headed for Green's Basin. It was the furthest distance we could go on the lake. It began to rain, so we pulled into Melvin Village and stayed the night in a house that was under construction on the beach. It belonged to friends of my parents. The next morning we went into Green's Basin. As I remember, it required some careful piloting to get in there without hitting a rock. There were only one or two cabins there in 51 and we went skinny dipping. I remember jumping off a high rock into the water. Fifteen years ago, I returned and was surprised to see the construction there now. I don't remember any brown water but, it was a very isolated and beautiful spot way back when.
