Watchman, like the picture. Reminds me of a place I spent sometime at in Maine a few years ago. It was by a lake called Toddy Pond. My wife and I were boating on the lake when a small plane almost took our toupees off coming in to land on the pond. It was the Ranger doing his rounds. That sort of thing does not happen here in Blighty. :ek:
I was camping at Pleasant Lake once a few years ago, not too far from where Watchman's picture was taken. What I didn't know was that Pleasant Lake was a designated training area for pilots from Loring Airforce Base. At about 4:30AM on the first day there, I was rudely awakened by 6 fighter jets flying at about 50 ft above the lake, at very high speeds. My poor little pop up camper was shaking back and forth and my kids were screaming! It was pretty scary, and looked like something out of Star Wars.
