The Lake Winni historical society has this from the boating "Where to" published in 1949, describing groups that anchored overnight at predetermined locations. https://www.lwhs.us/boatingwhereto1949.htm I don't have personal memories from 1949, but it appears group anchoring was common as soon after the war as you could buy gas.

Maybe they went somewhere and stayed over night which of course is illegal now unless you own the land, but I never saw people go out for the day and party like they do now. Did you APS?
