| Re: Minawaska I will be happy to. I want to see first if others have had a similar experience. It was in 1977 and 78 when I first went up there. I can wright a book about that experience. Most of it was strange and funny.

| Re: Minawaska Back in 78 and 79 it was more than that it was more like Florida during spring break and Woodstock all rolled into one. There where people of all ages camping out as far as the eye could see. Some even lived there making tree houses and raising there kids in the wilderness. This was going on for years before I got there. To an 18 year old that never experienced anything it was like entering into a twilight zone. This place was free from any law it was weired that this was aloud to exist. The funny part of it was that there was no violence within this gathering. You would walk from camp site to camp site where they shared everything they had like you where part of there group. There where talented musicians playing and singing everywhere. People diving off the falls or sliding down on this flat rocky stream of water into a pool of open water. It all came to an end by the time I turned 19. It got so popular the state took control of it and started charging admission. People stop living there as well it got real commercialized.
