Enjoy your Maine video. I own a home in Brunswick Maine. You mentioned Charles Lindberg. He use to fly to my home and visit. There was a Airfield at my house. I have photos and documents on this.
Bass Weejuns (loafers) were the rage for years. Stupidly a friend and I (being young and stupid) hiked down Mt Washington after riding the Cog Railway to the Summit, wearing our Bass Weejuns.
We've yet to find a document to prove this, but the evidence we have strongly suggests Wilson Lake being named after the early explorer Thomas Wilson. Records of it being called that go back before the connection to Wilton, NH came into play. As for the pond/lake distinction: We intentionally use the dual naming system to differentiate locals from out-of-towners. If a customer calls it Wilson Pond they are a local, so we prepare their food with the higher quality ingredients. If they call it Wilson Lake, they are from away, so ... well ... ...just kidding of course. Serious answer: By the current scientific standards, it is deep enough to be considered a lake. Updating the state records that still call it a pond would require the state government to do some paperwork. So it'll just keep being confusing for the time being.
I lived on a 56 acre “pond” in Vermont. Arguably as big as a lake. The reason it was called a pond was because it was shallow, unlike nearby smaller bodies of water called “lakes” because they were deep.

I remember I had a pair of Bass shoes back in the day
Androscoggin county is a beautiful place to live nice and quiet
In mass., we have a lake with the longest name in the world, it's simply called Webster Lake.
Can you pronounce the Indian name of Lake Webster?

Ha you had me going with the quality ingredients story...! Thanks for the illuminating information
I’m from Maine always wondered why huge bodies of water are called ponds, that said, there are a butt load of ponds/lakes in Maine.
Superb places by any name

Saving nations from dancers is noble work. Not just any soldier can waltz in with such valiant bravery!
Come up to the St john valley.
Remember when you played croquet on your lawn? Manufactured in Wilton.
Brockton, Mass. (Boston Suburb), was once the shoe capital of the world.
That's a loon, not a duck 🙄!
Too big to be called a POND. It is a LAKE. 😊😊😊Thanks Jeremy😊😊😊
That big duck was a LOON. They make a haunting Loon duck call. Very distinct. Love that sound. 😊
I guess so! Feels like a lake to me
@T1DWanderer looks like a lake .
POND VS. LAKE. The mystery continues.
The most divisive issue on TH-cam

Danby Pond if you want to Google a visual. Lots of beaver on that pond.
@@blueskiesatx Them eager beavers like shallow ponds I guess.
@@loudmouthnewyorker2803 they built an amazing dam at one end!
Perhaps Tom Hanks can explain the name Wilson..........😮
Haha
That was a Loon niot a duck
