In later images from Google Street View, all of the trees in the water are dead.

I’ve slept many nights in the old, small Viersen family cabin at Lemoyne, Nebraska – the last time in September 1973, when we were on leave before I reported for duty in New London, Connecticut.  We stayed again at Lemoyne in the late 80s when we were visiting my grandfather, who had had his mobile home moved to a lot next to the cabin, but we slept in our own tiny travel trailer. After my grandfather’s passing, the property went to the family of a nephew, who later built a large home on the adjacent property. The shop on the right in the picture is about where the old two hole outhouse was located. Though I’ve never seen it, in the early days of the lake, it was filled to the point that water was almost up to the cabin.
