Northwood Lake Beach Stone Wall 

Submitted By Tim Jandebeur

Volunteers spent a lot of hours this summer at Northwood Lake Beach to complete the massive stone wall.  From left: Joe McCaffrey, Tim Jandebeur, Mark Colby, Trevor Jandebeur, Ron Piwowarczyk, Dan Schroth, and James Schroth.

Beachgoers will now walk through the opening of the stone wall at the entry to Northwood Beach.

 

It is done. The beautiful native stone wall at Northwood Lake Beach has been completed and it is awesome. Remarkable really, what a few dedicated volunteers can accomplish when they set their minds to it. This wall was started a couple of years ago and slooooow but steady work was being accomplished. It takes rocks to build a wall.

 

Many of you know Dan Schroth’s work, some are lucky enough to know him personally. To say that he is one of a kind is a gross understatement. Unique, singular are two descriptions that come to mind. Boy, can he build a wall. His walls are dry, no cement or mortar. They will move with the seasons and not fall down. They are guaranteed for Dan’s life. No doubt that this wall will be here for generations of Northwood families to enjoy. It is as wide as it is tall and very long.

 

We all learned so much about wall building but first you need many, many rocks. It is easy enough to think that we are rich in rocks here in New Hampshire, however we learned that it takes special rocks to be a base stone, or a builder, or a capstone. Maybe three rocks out of ten collected made it into the wall. A whole summer was spent collecting rocks. We would not have been able to do it without help. Rocks came from the new ball fields, from Jamie Johnson’s property, Lee Baldwin and many other generous donors. Jimmy Wilson and Charlie Pease helped get them. Gary Haven Smith helped with stone work; Steve Bailey helped wall building the first year of the project.

 

Please, check it out. With Dan’s patient (most of the time) tutelage, his brother Mark Colby, Joe McCaffrey, Ron Piwowarczyk, Mike Barry with son Fergus, Bill Morrill, and Tim Jandebeur  spent every other weekend all summer building a great addition to Northwood. Others contributed an hour or two when they had time available. Many of you brought food, it was really appreciated. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. A special thanks to Dan Schroth Piermarocchi, and his brother Mark. Great job, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
