I think this Lake holds the ashes of many of our loved ones.

This will be the beginning of our sixth year here and we found our little slice of heaven almost by accident. (I'm another Jersey Girl...south jersey)..and grew up taking camping trips to ME.) I now reside in PA. My husband and I tend to be implusive. We were on a road trip to nowhere and ended up in Vermont. He wanted to go to ME. We got into an argument because it was August, and I said ME would be crowded,(I Hate crowds) and besides, we had already hiked every damn mountain there and seen everything there was to see. We had made many trips there together. We ended up at the Mcdonalds in Tilton and I came out with a real estate book. One hour later, we were in Alton, looking at a property on Hills Pond. That was that!!
My son was younger at the time, and could not say Winnipesauke. He'd say what's that lake Mom? Wind in my what? So everytime we drive up the hill to our place and get that breathtaking view of the lake...someone yells from the car.....there it is lake "wind in my sockies". We have our own business, so I am lucky that I can get there fairly often from PA, and stay almost all summer. I could easily stay all year and as the kids get older, some day that may happen. Just like to fish for fun only, hike, kayak and just take it all in.
