You are so right about the sixties, respect and working together.  I too stated out here with family in 1963 and was lucky enough to live here 50 yrs either full time or part time.  Then the 21st century got here and things changed. Loud music bright lights and total disrespect for others.

  Then the tuesday phone call would come asking to go check on what they forgot to do before they sped off for home. They thought nothing of piling trash by the road for a thursday pickup. They thought nothing of leaving all the flood lights on to deter criminals. Then Friday comes and they slide in turn on the music. block the road with cars and trailers. while their driveway is empty because they didn't want inconvience each other. Awww the lake life.

  Then in a couple of years the loose interest stop looking after the property let it get overgrown. then they start renting to who knows who. Then it really get loud, congested, and trashed. oh well life goes on.

  so after 50 yrs what do you do you sale and never look back and listen to all the stories of their neighbors and oh yeah come here and read of how it is now and not how it use to be.
