May 11 Amazing History by doublet

This park is amazing, the history of the park and the community will be with me always. My mother is the last living Nolte in the family, she is now 93. We would drive from Seattle every weekend to the lake. The early family had to stay out at the lake when Small Pox was running rapid in the early years.
