Spent the morning rippin out the beaver dam. They put the dam on the upstream side of our road and plugged the culvert. Dam ran 50 yards to the East and 5 to the West. We had a good 18 inches of water screaming over the road when we opened it up. What a mess, Mud and sticks everywhere.
Sounds like we may have a couple of guys that will come in and trap them. Not much sense in trying to fix the road back up too good untill we get rid of the critters.
Just as we finished up, I managed to fall into the creek. My left foot was stuck in the mud and it threw me off balance when I went to move. Down I went. Seat of my pants was a muddy mess. I dumped about a quart of H2O out of each of my hip boots. Good thing I had brought along a change of clothes.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
