there is a very small stone building seen at 54s in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mxQH1C3-6w&list=TLDEIHj79pd_w

I can remember seeing it since the early 1970s. What in the hell is it for?

Thank you for the video, it brought back some fond memories. Also and yes, the building was there since the early 70's. I really never gave it a thought.

There are quite a few good videos on the main page of that video:

Yes, I found them. I especially like the video of Lerkenlund Bay. My wife's family live up from there and own property going down to the Bay. They actually call it Grampa Joe's beach 🙂
