Back to Beaver Busting

Down in the Hunt Club's swamp, on Peak Road, there's a two foot steel culvert that's a favorite of the beavers. They've got a dam upstream and they alternate between repairing the damage we do to the dam and plugging the culvert. Either one results in water on the road.

Here's a view of the west, upstream side of the culvert:
