Crokit, you're right about the name Deception. my buddy said " are you nuts " . Deception Bay is the old name for our end of the lake. my great-grandfather was the 1st to put a cottage here ( actually the cookshack off a wood cutting barge- but hey- home is where the heart is ) . no roads , 17 mi by horseback, or 25 by barge . So its a way of remembering his foresight- otherwise I'd never have had the chance to spend time on the lake.
Moose Mike - you know your geography - any chance you were one of those PA license plates at the Clearwater Shell in past years ?
