Here There Be Beavers

There are lots of signs of beavers down near the lake, which is good, the scrub here could do with being cut back a bit. There’s one place where the trail runs through what is a spindly grove of young saplings, it would be great if they cleared that. Though there is a tree down across the trail at the trail entrance to the grove, so the trail is probably going to move somewhere else over time.

Notice how the sun’s not shining? Well it is, only the sun has already dropped down below the top of the hollow. It’s only 3:30 p.m. Where I’ll be camping the sun won’t go down until around 5:30.

I didn’t know it at the time, but the next morning I was going to meet a busy beaver.

The last few yards to the lake – I’m glad the beavers are munching their way through this. It is pretty near impenetrable in the summer. Copyright © 2020 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.
