[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 298081, member: 8012"]This is key. I grew up in rural Minnesota and about a year ago I was looking at their local newspaper. In the "Yesteryear" column of the paper, there was an article from the 1920's which detailed how everyone who was anyone went to to certain local lake for swimming. It was apparently quite the social event and would be mentioned in the "society" columns of the day. Today, the lake is hardly on the map and you have to drive down a tiny gravel road to get to it. It's basically in the middle of corn fields. There is absolutely no trace that this was ever a swimming magnet type of place. The lake is famous for getting overgrown with weeds by July. Fisherman only go there when they have no luck everywhere else. And no, I'm not saying where it is. I have been making plans for several months now..... :)[/QUOTE]
