Party lines are one thing I remember at the lake. How many people remember these things?
Having a pump house that supplied the house and not the sprinkler system with lake water.
Having a big Coleman cooler in the kitchen as the only potable water source, and having to find a tap for a refill of city water if we stayed too long.
Being able to pick up television stations in Montgomery, Columbus, Birmingham, and Mt. Cheaha depending on which way the outside antenna was turned.
Places like Smith's and Holmes Landing.
Getting stopped by Ned.
Going under the old Kowaliga bridge.
Driving over it. (over and under could both be a tight squeeze)
Blasting for the rocks to build the current bridge.
Grocery shopping at the Red and White in Eclectic.
BBQ from the old Cotton's and hamburgers at the Big H in Wetumpka.
Never having a problem walking the beach or playing in the woods in the winter.
NO PWC's!
Everybody had either a mobile home or a prefab Jim Walter house on their lot. (even the really rich people)
Learning to drive on the lake roads.
The alligator down by the ski club.
Water a whole lot lower than 480.
It is late, so all of you old timers will have to add to this list.
