    Beavers like money

       "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

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

    What else would you use to invest in the river BANK.......

    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!
    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*

    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 ...
    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!
