Jerry talks with Bob and Steve about one vacation where it rained 16 of the 17 days we were at the cabin. Also about juggling the cars when everyone came on the weekend so we could still play horseshoes without hitting the cars.

Wilson's Reservoir - former Joyal place at the lake

Wilson's Reservoir - former Joyal place at the lake, originally uploaded by shersteve.

Dad, Bob and I managed to explore Paschoag and see if we could find our way to the old Joyal water front site at Wilson's Reservoir one weekend in October.

We managed to do so.

The Joyal's did not have a dock when they were here had a dock that they took out for each winter. But the water and the view hasn't changed too much.

Added: There was also a 'boathouse' to cover the motor boat in season. Quonset hut shaped on stilts. It also was part of the seasonal work to put into the water in May and take out in September/October.
