Geocache Description:


The beaver (genus Castor) is a primarily nocturnal, large, semi-aquatic rodent. Castor includes two extant species, North American beaver (Castor canadensis) (native to North America) and Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) (Eurasia). Beavers are known for building dams, canals, and lodges (homes). They are the second-largest rodent in the world (after the capybara). Their colonies create one or more dams to provide still, deep water to protect against predators, and to float food and building material. The North American beaver population was once more than 60 million, but as of 1988 was 6–12 million. This population decline is due to extensive hunting for fur, for glands used as medicine and perfume, and because their harvesting of trees and flooding of waterways may interfere with other land uses. (Source: Wikipedia).

The drive for modernization has forced some Castor subspecies to develop opposable thumbs and have recently developed the amazing ability to use chainsaws! This was rumoured, but until recently, undocumented.

I was walking down this path and happened to have my camera with me and took this incredible photo.



The background image seems to indicate their ability to use ladders. If any cachers see any instances of this, please post a photo with your log.

Quick find in a nice little area.

Please cover the container so it is not visible from the path.

Congratulations to vmclaren and RPayment on the shared FTF!
