CCL.com: Are you a weekender or a full-time resident?
Campos: I'm a weekender, and we chose it because we have friends who invited us out for a Labor Day picnic -- we liked it so much we immediately started househunting.
CCL.com: What are your favorite things to do and places to visit on the lake?
Campos: I just love the peace and quiet! I don't fish or water ski, but I like to eat fish. There are so many good restaurants we rarely cook out. I think the SEADOS are the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
CCL.com: What has been the reaction of your family and friends to the lake when they visit?
Campos: They like it too. My sister is the fisher person in the family.
CCL.com: What do you view as the benefits of being on the lake as opposed to life in the big city?
Campos: Did I mention peace and quiet? A slower pace, small town and friendly folks!
CCL.com: What new conveniences and attractions would you like to see developed on the lake?
Campos: Hmmm, geez. That's a good question. I think the kids would like more to do on dry land, maybe mini golf, a water park? I have no idea. I like things just the way they are.
