Homes on Lake Nepco in My City

.

On the southern edge of our fair city there is a "pine encrusted" lake called Nepco.
.
.

Its shores are dotted in strategic places with lovely old lake homes.

Some may call these cottages, but oh my word, many of them are HUGE homes.

(Disclaimer - this photo is all wonky because I "straightened" it using a program I'm not an expert in using which resulted in a border that is crooked, sort of like the house that Jack built.  Again, you KNOW who you are dealing with over here.)

I love how they peek out from their piney woods.

.
. 

Some of them barely peek at all.

This one had a previous life as a sleeper car.

I'm totally fascinated with it.

Too bad it is so well camouflaged in its pine grove.

This place is a home, 

A water park,

And a party house all in one.

.

.

I noticed that at Nepco

It is all the rage to

Have a boathouse.

By boathouse I do of course
Mean a "garage" right on the water
For the boat.

.

. 

And the boathouse must double as a party house.

.

. 

And the party house must have both

Upper and Lower seating.

.

.

Even the pump house must sport an upper deck

And be festooned with flowers.

Sadly, I have never been invited to partake

Of riparian festivities

In such a place as this.

I think I must splash in a mud puddle,

Paddle up a down river,

Or

Swim on the wrong side of the bridge.
