Beaver Bust

damgone2.jpgUpdate: The little bastards have done it. This afternoon (Saturday) driving past the transfer station, I saw that the dam has been restored to its former glory in less than two weeks. With free labor like that, who needs the ACE?

Anyone know what happened to the giant Beaver Dam at Beeslick Brook? Evidently the venerable dam on Route 41 a few hundred feet past the transfer station gave way just after the weekend of April 14-15, when we were inundated with 4 or 5 inches of rain.

No one at the transfer station (even the estimable Art Hotaling) seemed to know when it went down. Robin, you go by there every day. What’s going on? Have the little creatures started to rebuild? I hope so. I’ve been admiring it for five years.

P.S. Come to think of it, I’ll ask Joe Cleaveland. He owns the only home in that immediate area.
