Oh. That is not at all what I expected. I thought of rocks as in Nova Scotia...so...hmmm

There's boulder/rock piles at the bottom of every tower that were put in place in an attempt to stop erosion back in the day.

So far, looks like it works pretty good; stopping erosion that is...

I seem to remember the rocks sticking above the water level once apon a time , The top of the rock piles 20-30 feet across or am I dreaming ?

With all the pictures online you would think there would be one of the DL towers.

The towers can be a real whorebag. I have a new plan for them this summer that I hope will be pigful.

I've been scheming on a plan for them too, I think I got it. Hopefully I'll be on the water on the first week of June. Over
