How far do you live from the Lake?

i dont "live" on the lake, but when i am at our shop i am about 40 feet from it! when i am home on the island i live on i am 60 feet from the high tide line in the "pond"! i try to never be far from the water... i feel very fortunate to be able to live on two of the beautiful waterbodies in the world (IMHO).

I'm gonna bet she wins the "most distant" prize. In her post she says she's "about 4,000 miles".. google map says 4,510 miles!

She'll be visiting with us this summer.. we can't wait! (No, she's not bringing the moose)

LOL, same with us. How lucky we are to be 30 feet from the lake! I think in most places , if you built before the late 80s, early 90s, you could still be 30 feet from the lake!

In 1969 I married my wife and drove to Alaska in our 1969 Vw bus. Drove from Bedford MA to Eielson AFB (26 miles from Fairbanks) via Buffalo to Cleveland to Chicago to Twin Cities to Jamestown ND, crossed into Canada at Portal to Edmonton to Dawson Creek and then the Alcan to Eielson. Total mileage was almost 4800 miles. Left on Nov 19th and got to Eielson on Dec 4th with a day's layover in Edmonton to get the bus winterized.

Yeah, been there and done that, and you definitely get my vote. Hope you get here soon, and I hope you have got your "sourdough rating".
