Random Observation...

The growth and overcrowing that seems to be happening is one of the reasons that some of the towns in the area (Alton is one) are looking at their master plan for the community, determining where the town wants to go in the future, and the best way to get there. Alton's residents pretty much said let's stay small, and not open up our town and our land to huge developments that would take our new high school and make it obsolete in 5-10 years.

This past weekend was the first time we were able to get out twice in the same weekend. Monday, we spent almost 8 hours on the lake, and that was after playing 18 holes of golf! Was it crowded out there? Of course. Would I expect it to be that way every weekend throughout the summer? Nope. I agree with some of the comments: the weather has been so bad, that if someone had a chance to get on the lake this weekend, they went, and spent a lot of time on the water. Those not on the water, spent a lot of time driving around shopping, sight seeing, just enjoying the moments.

Jersey Shore...not yet...but it could get that way if growth is not monitored and kept in check.

My 2 cents (maybe a few cents more...)
