My parents bought a house on pequot lake when I was five and every summer since we have been going up there for there. When I was 16 I worked as a lifeguard at the public beach and met these two guys, also lifeguarding, who were staying at their parents house alone that summer. For basically six months we had a party at their place with every kid under 20 in the area. The best night, though, was when there were just about five of us and there was a family of loons that had a nest right near their dock and, for some reason, they were really noisy that night. The cops came because the neighbors had called saying that we were being too noisy. It had been the loons that they heard. To me, it was perfect that we were living somewhere that the neighbors couldn't hear a party every night for a month, but the loons were louder than we ever were.
