Uncle Harvey's Mausoleum


Uncle Harvey's Mausoleum - Northlanders out for a sunny February afternoon stroll on the Lakewalk Saturday did a little exploration along the shoreline. 

As you can see in this photo, the support structure that the two swimmers are on in the summertime photo below, collapsed into the lake sometime this February.





Sunday Sunrise!
