Never a dumb question ejes,
Not much of a story behind it. It is about 6' tall and is simply used as a marker of the bay area and landing portion of the Island. While this is a privately owned island, it is uninhabited and there is evidence that people use it from time to time. For example, there are a couple of picnic tables in the interior at about the same spot where the marker is. My guess it was made by a few folks who wanted to come back to that area. Not many people camp here now days because of the mess the cormorants are making, at least I haven't seen any evidence of activity other than myself and the Canadian Wildlife Service guys who sample the island each year and take a herring gull colony census. The stones also are relatively new. To my recollection they weren't here 14 years ago when I came to the island for the first time.
