Indian Village next to Funspot. The Windmill restaurant with its popovers.

Very fond memories of the Windmill, which was owned by the Thomas family.

Reminded me of the Double Decker. We would stop there for a bite on our way back to Mass prior to when we moved to NH.

Double Decker being gone, maybe the Tamarack for a similar experience?

Carrying a big Thermos jug from our cabin up to the pavilion at Lake Shore Park, then pumping the well handle to fill the Thermos with drinking water for the day.

Carving my initials into the pavillion wall; listening to rock n roll on the juke box.

Envious of my fellow young teens who made out on Baby Beach.

Espying my first Donzi.

Bonfires on the beach at Lake Shore Park and sending morse code signals with our flashlights to someone on Welch Island, who sent them back.

Living on Bear Island for the summers as a kid on the beach of BIYC near Camp Nokomis, and drivng a 13' whaler from there to the docks in front of Chase's so I could tie up the boat for the day and walk up the hill to my first job working back kitchen prep boy at Hart's. Halcyon days for sure...

Ringing the dinner bell at Camp Samoset at 2am walking from the LSP pavilion to Terrace Hill Road.
Thanks for the reminder Mr. V about Baby Beach and the 'innocent youth' of LSP.
