Three Fingered Willy
Growing up in Carter Lake....You may not know how to spell, do math without a calculator or even put together a sentence without every 5th word being F*** BUT.....You know where to find your parents on Saturday night (at the Improvement Club or Carter Lake Lounge), you know that if you're out at 11:02pm, the Carter Lake Police WILL find you at 11:05pm for Curfew, And of course you know all about the legend of Three Fingered Willy.
Although the story may have changed a bit from generations....You know that he lives in the Boys Club Forrest (10 yrs ago was the Boys Club, and although it's official name now, will you EVER refer to it as the "Boys & Girls Club"). He is the scariest most horrifying thing that you could ever encounter. He reminds us of Jason from Friday the 13th, from Camp Crystal Lake. Some people still have nightmares about him.
Well...I came across some pictures of where Willy hangs out. And I thought that it would be nice to share them with all of you. I know that James K will be especially :)
Looks like Willy's been doing some laps in the Pool. Hope Jason is not in THAT water!
Maybe this is where Willy lives now.
Nah...it's too nice. I'm sure he lives in some beat up, rusty, abandoned car!

I love this post of yours.
although, he scares the shit out of me!
what the hell is going on with that pool? sick!
OMG I can't believe it ... I had forgotten all about Willy!
But when I think of the Boys Club, I think of my Aunt Cheryl dumping us all off for a dance as she drove away smoking.
Now that I am older, the idea of dropping my kids off someplace and pretty much leaving them there to fend for themselves is scary!
I also try to stress to Lindy the importance of NOT hanging out at the Lounge every night - we must BREAK THE CYCLE!!! :)
God Bless Carter Lake ...
he is stupid ugly and scares the shit out of me too
Hey! I don't know if you read your blog anymore judging from the date it was originally written. However, I went to Carter Lake Boy's Club Camp in the 1970's and The Legend of Three Fingered Willy!
We were always told to stay on the trail especially at night, never go anywhere alone, and stay in your tent until first light! Or Willie will get you! I so appreciate your pictures! We stayed the night in the pool tower one Friday night! We felt so privileged! It was the best... Good times and most excellent memories.
