Kind of. That sign was further along about where the old driving range is

and I like to think that I am not old yet lol, only 40 this year.

but I loved that spot because when you were cresting the hill and heading down it looked like you were driving into a tunnel under the lake and it just kept going

I read that they had replaced those signs a couple of years ago. Did they not replace all of them? I’m not up there to check it out and this has been bugging me also.

There used to be a few but the one I have specific memory of was there. I think there was one coming in on 104 and pretty sure there was one on rt3 coming in from Holderness. I'm sure there must have been one on 25 at some point but I have no memory of it.

I wish someone could come on the forum and say they were here, here and here.

I remember that there was one on route 104, but I can’t place the exact location of that one in my head.

The one I remember very clearly was the one on route 25 on the Center Harbor / Meredith line.

I vaguely remember that one. There was/is a little parking turn out right before Patricia Shores and it was there

Yes. It was on the right side of the road before you came to Brookhurst and Patrician Shores.

Hey, think. You have to drive from Meredith to Moultonborough all the time. Is there a new sign on the Center Harbor/ Meredith line on route 25?

This was an interesting photograph from the Hurricane of 1938 (imagine 82 years ago).

I remember growing up that my mother used to tell me that a lot of the properties around the lakes did not have electricity until after the hurricane went tearing thru the area (and flattening lots of woods)

It opened wooded lands via destruction, provided plenty of wood for telephone poles, and made it much easier to provide electric and phone service to once isolated areas.

I think the hurricane of 1954 may have been the last really bad hurricane in the area.

There was also one on Route 3 Northbound just past the Church and before the docks in Meredith.
