To hell we wouldn’t. The SOBs have killed almost every tree behind my house, about 65 acres of trees and have backed up a sewer line five miles. The could not figure out why the lids kept floating off the manholes and I told them the pipe was broken somewhere and beavers had made a home amidst the flush…sure enough and right below my house. Where I live the lowest point is always the creek so all sewer trunk lines are laid in creek beds. I’ve got a stream below my house that has been in danger of running over the road for five years now. Every now and then the city will go down the creek and blow or destroy all the beaver dams and the stench is unbelievable. The damned joints leak.
I fought the mayor of Douglas in an epic battle that made the Atlanta Journal and Constitution to prevent the building of a road though ¾ miles of wetland and crossing Twenty Mile Creek twice with road beds eighty feet wide at the bed and twenty feet high at the highest. After four years and me hiring an environmental attorney the let the COE permit lapse and mayor moved on to more crooked self-interest projects.
I remember walking the route where we could with reps from the COE, the USFWS, DOT, US and GA EPA and local road people. These road beds were going to have four culverts eight feet in diameter to carry the creek and sewage through. The rep from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (all were opposed to the project by the way except the mayor and the COE was quiet) asked our mayor what he was going to do about the beavers. Oh, we’ll trap them out and shoot them. The ladies name was Mary Fire (I called her Fireball). She looked him in the eye and asked him if he was going to trap every damned beaver in Georgia because that’s what it would take and informed him she was a damned expert. He was quiet the rest of the walk.
We now know that the entire storm drain system for Douglas would have had to be revamped had those roads been built because water would have backed up out of the storm drains and flooded streets for days. I later found out that a classmate of mine and the mayor were planning on building low cost, i.e. mobile homes on the far side of the second bend in the creek.
So don’t talk to me about beavers. They never hibernate down here…steady working. They are in the deeper ditches downtown and I counted 12 damns from my house to 441 which is less than a mile. They are the greatest engineers ever devised by the Lord.

Guy, you wouldn't have beaver eating through the power lines in Douglas

Curtis Westersund has one of the most beautiful places in the World if we could get that power line buried. The view is unmatched anywhere I’ve been other than the Grand Canyon…well that may be going too far but as far as out your back door, nothing I’ve ever seen matches it. Anyone not stunned by that marvel of the world is brain dead.
Curtis, you say they cannot bury that line because it floods. All of our lines are buried in Douglas now as we rework the system and our water table is about two feet. At this moment it is about two inches. But they are laying a cable and electrical cable under/through a creek that is about 200 yards wide and eight feet deep. If they can do that in the Swamp then they can do that in Canada. Maybe because we live in a Swamp we can do thing you people from up yonder can’t.

Jeff
I say the same wherever I go.
Then I think about having to work there all year.
I would rather just visit and enjoy it. Like just renting, not owning.
What's the old saying?
Don't envy what someone else has unless you are willing to take "all the stuff" that comes with it.
But that's probably why you stay where you are. Atlanta has so much to offer and is such a good jumping off place.
Regards
Howard

Guy, I can't bury the power line due to the flooding we seem to have every 7 or 8 years. This photo is from this years flooding that devastated Calgary. For a day, the beaver ponds below my house became the Elbow River (that is normally a mile from my house):

That is what you get for vacationing in Montana.
The land that time forgot. My in-laws live in Great Falls.
Drive up to BC, then to Alberta then to Calgary then to my place and I will make sure your bathroom has a plunger

Arrived last night in Glacier National Park
Staying at St Mary's Lodge and Resort- Absolutely one of the most beautiful places in the world
Suite with a view to die for - facing the mountains- balcony overlooking a stream and lake with mountain views. Don't get that in South Florida.
Rough hewn chairs , rockers, etc- all the comforts-
Travelled 15 hours door to door to get here- through Calgary- drove down to Montana , will circle back through Banff and Jasper to conference in Calgary - 2 week trip
Picked up a nice bottle of wine, cheese, chocolates, fruit - perfect dinner on the balcony watching the sunset from over stuffed rocker
Decided to turn on the gas fireplace- pilot light was on- wouldn't work.
Called front desk- they didn't know what to do. Call back in the morning
No one on call for service
No problem- the sound of the creek and view- wow! feels like 40-50 degrees - great breeze
Go to use the bathroom - uh oh
no good
beautiful bathroom- great jacuzzi for 2
toilet doesnt work- no plunger
-call for maintenance in the morning yuch!-
finished the bottle of wine last night
slept like a log with breeze and sound of creek
called downstairs- the "manager" didnt know what to do
would call back later to see if they had a room to move us into later
I told them to look for a plunger!
30 minutes later-
I call down stairs- they are working on it
meanwhile - jacuzzi looks better than toilet to use
Finally- guy shows up- takes a look- yup
he will return with a plunger
OILA! Toilet works
showed us the setting to use to make the fireplace work- the front desk night manager didn't know about
so - now its time to find breakfast- room coffee - cups creamer- suck
$350.00 per night
next time- Holiday Inn
or a tent.
But it is beautiful here.
really gorgeous
