My grandparents bought a place at the river a few years before I was born. They had been going for years before that and would camp on the Indian Beaches. So I started going as a baby. I remember back when we would launch the boats and skis off the beach. I think people that did that and still do are crazy! lol
When I turned old enough to drive they would start letting me use the house with friends. I few of us had stand ups so we'd just hang on a beach all day and I always day dreamed about owning a boat. I bought my 1st boat when I was 19 and kinda carried on the tradition. I wish my cousins/ siblings would have also carried out the river tradition, but I was the only one of all the "kids" to have an interest. I knew since I was a kid that I wanted my own hot rod jet boat.
