I am not disputing anything I have read pro or con so far with this entire thread. The differences of opinion or thought may come from different experiences. I hear what Longtimer is saying, and I believe there still sections of the Lake that are closer to the way he recalls it. I also recall Lake Bum espressing almost the exact sentiments. Not sure which section of the Lake Lake Bum and Longtimer had or have their places. I know over in the Western section of the Lake in the Parker Creek area it is not as bad as I have heard some assert other sections have become. It is 11 miles by road from my Brother's cabin to my cabin. I generally visit the Lake between May and Sept. I often can drive from either place to the other and not see more than three or four other vehicles on the road. I very seldom see more than a very few boats in the Oakachoy area sleughs. Early in the morning you can hear the owls and turkey. Except for the clouds and the distant airport search light you see nothing but stars at night in that area. Some folks do have the security lights in the vicinity of their cabins. I believe APCO only puts those in by request and a monthly charge.

I even spotted a few housetrailers on one Eastern section of the Lake. There are far more of the old Russel Cabins remaining. I found one Seciton of the Lake over near Alex City that seemed to be nothing but old Russel Cabins. It is a most quaint section of the Lake.

I have driven to other sections of the Lake generally over in the Dadeville area, and it seems to be a slightly different story. I have read on this Forum of others complaining about the heavy boat traffic. I understand and have driven by road to see some of the association type developments. I understand some like that atmosphere and to each his or her own.

It must be hard on those that are in an area of transitions or has transitioned since it becomes difficult to sell and rebuy for the same money. That gives more reason for new buyers to be most careful about the part of the Lake they buy in. So if you want peace, I believe it is there in places. If you want associations, condos and more closely united communities, then if is also there and possibly increasing.

Just another view point.
