Flood Plain Point

What is this place

A private beach house belonging to 5 Friends
It was originally a summer cottage for one of the local farmer's children. He built a whole series of them to keep his kids nearby but apart from each other, as each child got a cottage.
It was acquired in 1979.by the friends from two other friends who bought it a few years earlier from the original farmer's kid, .
The list of five who own it has changed in the preceding years, except for Rif, who along with Ranger Mike decided it was a real nice place to hang out, and who got Ken and Don to buy the place.
In the ensuing floods (in the flood of 1955 the water was over the roof) it was decided to raise the house up. In 1981 is was raised to its present height, and in the flood of 1984 there was 16 inches of water in the house.
At least once every year the water comes up under the house.
