Diamond Island objects

The concrete culvert you mentioned is JUST south of the brown boathouse, and VERY close to shore. The bottom drops off dramatically on that side of the island (we've anchored about 10 feet from shore, and had the anchor in 20-30 feet of water!). I believe the tracks were even further south -- and not much more than 30-50 feet deep. Empty Pockets is NNW of tracks and ~54 feet. I know it used to have a marker bottle on it, but am not sure about that today.

My Grandfather was on the MIT crew of the experiment. He use to keep his Indian Motorcycle at Ames Farm and ride it to the Irwin Ballroom on the weekends. One theory passed along from the good old days was that Lake Winnipesaukee sits in the crator of a giant volcano that was run over by the last ice age, and that a fair amount of sulfer still finds its way up into the lake wich would result in a high amount of plankton and the numerous natural H2o springs around the lake and the south side of the White Mountain Range. Next time your out in the middle of the broads, stop the boat and do a 360 look around and you might think it's not just a theory.
