I can go back pretty far in memory.  I recall when the intersection was much different, there was an old service station pretty close to the road.  I remember waiting in line on alternating days to get gas with my mother in the 70s. 

I remember when Keystone Beach was booming, as opposed to the way it is now, just like a lot of the other lakes, they have really gone down and Lake Geneva is one of the worst in that respect. 

I also remember the old Keystone Motel right near Keystone Beach, which now is gone.  Actually that place was probably haunted, and I was sad to hear of its passing.  

I remember walking every square inch of Keystone, almost every day after school and any other time I deemed appropriate. 

I remember places that were there, and are not there anymore.  One of those places was a garage that my grandfather built, right there on Hwy 21. 

I remember always coming home to an empty house from an early age, and walking for hours in the woods following large tortoises around, looking at animal tracks, and little mosses.

I remember the day I was walking near the intersection, I crossed the railroad track, and there was an antique bottle of 7up that said, "You like it, it likes you."

I remember, especially, falling asleep to the sound of whippoorwills in the distance of the night, and I was so soothed by that, I deeply miss it.

There are just too many memories to post!  :D
