That was cool.
 
The only experiences I've had around beaver lodges have been negative ones.  We have a favorite fishing stream back home that was taken over by a huge lodge and it flooded the stream into a field that we ended up hip deep in muck which caused us to get off course and end up walking through another owner's field who was NOT fisherman friendly and he spied us from the bluff above his field and actually chased us in his truck, shotgun out the window.  When we made it back to the car, we headed straight to the sheriff's office to report it before he did...and the sheriff, knowing us, knew we never would have violated the high water mark laws, saw our drenched clothes and when the rancher swore a complaint out against us, the sheriff backed us up, even though the owner had always been a tyrant to anyone even staying in the water, he didn't want anyone anywhere near his land...but we never got to fish that stream again...(we were back there last year to find the access to it has now been sold off to another private owner so we can't even get to the stream anymore...the people buying up the land are not sportsmen at all)...
 
The other experience was just last year when a huge dam burst above a valley out here in WA and flooded a home and road that we drive regularly...The property owner with the dam said they asked for help, the affected owner said he complained to the county, and with the weather that we have out here, the runoff in these areas becomes flash flood worthy all the time.

That's incredible.  Now you know where the term "busy beaver" comes from.

This beaver has a different sort of experience.  It was on our news last month - he lost his way and had to have a police escort!
