Schwabaker Landing after Beaver Dam expansion
On 1/23 I posted an image of the Beaver Dam in its prime. I was asked if I had an image after the Dam was expanded. So here it is quite a change.

Also quite a change in the background, compare the pine trees with the one you posted on 1/22.

I guess beavers aren't too good for trees whether they knaw them down or flood them to death. :biggrin: NIce comparison shots, Don.

Looks like the pine beetle struck there also :frown:

The pine bark beetle has devastated a lot of this area. Very sad.
