I agree there is, after all it was made by GOD for us!

It refreshes my soul everytime I come back here! Ready to take on the world, or communists, which ever comes first after my time here!

Since I was a child I have been coming up here either renting cottages, skiing all the time, hiking you name it. I love it up here. Went to ski camp at Mt. Pero in Plymouth all my life as a child. Wonder if anyone remembers it. I have always loved it up here and finally this year was able to by a home in Melvin Village. Coincidently the Abenaki Tower is almost next to us and I am a small part Abenaki heritage. Maybe that is why I keep coming back. And now to stay. When I am here I am in a different world. As I sit and type I overlook the lake and the mountains and all their glory like a post card every day. And I never tire of it. AMAZING!!! and so happy to finally be able to purchase a home and a boat to thoroughly enjoy everything there is to offer in this region. I look forward to meeting different folks as well. So far everyone has been out of there way truly wonderful!

The first ride in the boat in the spring is so exciting to me, every single year. I love to be back out on the water again. It is a feeling I can't describe

Hi Lucy and welcome! Do you happen to remember a small ski camp that was run by the Greers in Plymouth. They owned a small area and had their own rope toe etc? He was a school teacher in MA as I recall. There were trips to his ski camp during school vacations. It ran in two sessions I think....half a week and half a week. Does any of this sound familiar. I think there was a daughter who was disabled in some way and maybe a son who died? Any of this sound at all familiar?

Funny - how many times has man tried to create something synthetic to produce the same kind of experience as those described here? It's impossible to do, the wonders of the natural world are simply amazing for those that take the time to unplug and get out there and really experience it. The lake is a unique and magical place, no doubt about it. When just being there seems to allow us to forget about life for a while, or melt those worries away.... as they say on the MasterCard commercials, it's simply priceless.

For those who have never experienced it, they may never understand, for those that have it's an addictive drug to which there is no cure. Places like this web site are merely the equivalent to a couple Advil and a support group until we can once again get our lake fix. If there was a lake goers anonymous I'd be a lifetime member!

Sure sounds like Mt. Pero ski camp. They had their own rope tow. And yes we would go on school vacations. With two lessons a day and they would teach us how to race. But the folks I knew who ran it were name Frank Favorite and I don't remember his wifes name. They had a huge fireplace which heated all the cabin bedrooms upstairs. They had a small candy store and old fashioned bowling alleys. Mr. Favorite use to tell the story of the green hand and the dog would sit outside howling scaring any of the newbies to the camp. He was a school teacher in Mass. We use to take the bus from a school in Reading Ma. up to Plymouth. The hill sits across from Mt. Tenney.
