Most of the old cabins on upstate lakes and shacks on the waterfront areas have been turned into very high priced private condominiums or private fishing or golfing communities for the very well off. <br /><br />But I am glad to see the same sort of thing is still alive and well someplace in the world.Chernevoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164753602062259638noreply@blogger.com
