Beavers like money

[Paul]

   "No charges have been filed against the beavers, though their home was ransacked by the search."

   From 2theadvocate.com, Louisiana, Beavers use bags of bucks for building dam (http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/111504/new_money001.shtml)

At least those beaver had the good sense to keep the bills "whole"!!!! :) My Butter would NOT have done that!!!! :eek:

Of course they would use the money as building materials...

Beavers - Mother Nature's Construction Engineers ;)

Years ago I volunteered at a little Sports Car Road Racing Course -
wound for 2 miles through the woods - beside a creek.

One fall Maw & Paw BEAVER moved in and built a Summer Cottage and
a lil pond...
Well, OK ... welcome to da Hood ...

Next year the KIDS needed a place... another pond and several more "Houses"
appeared... Ooooh-Kaaay...

Next year the GRAND-Kids needed places...
THIRD Level of Lakes appeared -
with MORE "Houses"... Hmmmmm ???

Spring Rains arrived... The Waters ROSE! :eek:
The Track was FLOODED for a quarter mile!
THIS was NOT Good! :(

The BEAVER WAR was declared!
Work Parties all Spring - Man vrs BEAVER!
We sacked, burned & pillaged on Saturdays & Sundays.
They *watched* :mad:

By Tuesday Afternoons the damages we wrought were repaired - water
flow was a mere trickle, and the water was again lapping over the
Race Track. They *smiled* :)
WE pouted & Fumed! :(

Races were cancelled...
A Friend agreed to bring in a MONSTER Track-Hoe Excavator...
Three days of Mechanized War reduced their Three-Level Lake system to
a mere *trickle* of free-flowing creek.
The Track-Hoe crawled up on it's low-boy and went home...
The Humans & Racers were Happie :)

A week later the Waters Rose AGAIN...
In two weeks we were FLOODED ... :mad:
They "smiled" :) and paddled about "Their" Lakes.

The only thing that seemed to work was if we LEFT the Track-Hoe
*parked* near the dams - the Beaver Army usually only did minor
repairs if the Mechanical Monster remained in sight. Load it up
to send it off to a Paying Job for it's owner - and the 4-Pawed Army
sprang into action and had the Race Track
flooded again within a WEEK!

Final Resolution?
A MONTH's worth of MAJOR Excavating!
We "deepened" the creek by about 8 feet - and piled ALL the dirt
between the Track and the creek - we built our OWN Dam!
(A Quarter Mile's worth!)

The Beaver Army then rebuilt THEIR Dams on the "other side" -
deep enough to "Keep em Happie" but overall low enough to
keep "our" Race Track dry! :rolleyes:
