The end
It is the end that has been coming for a long time. They drove me out years ago, but I will always have fond memories about spending the summer's growing up out there. Barn fire's in the cut, Walkin Campers, Scout's and Willy's everywhere, Penn Squidder's with dacron, watching the guys get ready as the sun set at the telephone rip, hanging around Charlie Whitney's shop listening to the stories, trips to the market to sell and get ice, waiting for the guys to finish up in the Focsle while I sat on sidewalk eating penny candy watching the sites, waking up in beach forest parking lot, watching the sunset at the race.
Not to mention the characters: Bonesy, Carlson, Wild Bill, Joe C, Lanny, just to mention a few.
It was an awesome experience that in this day and age is unimaginable. The freedom to come and go as you please. Fish where you want sleep where you want.
I guess it true when they say all good things must come to an end.
