Why Have Priest Lake Visits Fallen?

A read of As The Lake Churns writes to Pecky Cox: "How is it that interest in spending time at Priest Lake has declined over the years?  .... or has it?  Many of the long time residents tell of how the lake used to be churning with activity back in the 60's.  Boat traffic was higher.  Resorts were busier.  Is this really true?  What happened? One story goes that the bar at Grandview was so busy in the 60's or 70's that you couldn't find a place to stand.  When did that stop being the case?" More here. (SR file photo by Jesse Tinsley)

Question: When did you last visit Priest Lake? Do you agree with the premise above that visitors aren't flocking to Priest as much now as they once did?
