Monday Morning

So we're back from the lovely woods of Canada and we had a wonderful, relaxing time. The new screen house was the perfect addition to our campsite, and I can't say enough good things about a hot, mosquito-free shower in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't look like that much, but boy do we love it.We met some folks who have a camp near by, and explored some of the (seemingly endless) logging roads. One afternoon we walked a few miles and discovered multiple interesting intersections. We decided to go back for the truck and follow one that eventually led us to an almost-washed-out road and a gigantic beaver dam.
While we checked it out, a beaver came swimming across the water... zig-zagging through the submerged trees and slowly coming closer to where we stood.

Hey, I'll add to this story later. I need to get ready for work.

That is the biggest beaver dam I have ever seen. I imagine they must have quite a colony to build anything that huge....

yeah, we were pretty impressed too. The fact that the height of the water is about the same as my head shows what fantastic engineers those little critters are. There is a large pond just out of sight of this picture that this dam is holding back.
