... a Beaver 'Bank Den' somewhere out there...
... just last weekend - didn't see any tracks around, but saw a second, more isolated den further down stream with tracks - this den has been there since late Spring, but figure that the Beaver may have abandoned it after summer and fishing season set in as it it located right along a popular stretch of fishing shoreline with lots of fishermen imposing on his serenity...

... Beaver Den mechanics - they usually resort to this structure when locating along a wide or swift flowing body of water...
... there was an assortment of late summer wildflowers in bloom along the shoreline as well...

... wasn't aware of this event until we came across it on-line yesterday...
... 'PsicoRoc' Deep Water Soloing event held a few weeks back at 'Summersville Lake' just south of the border in 'West Virginia'...
... looks like a ton of fun - here is a link to their pretty good highlight film: https://vimeo.com/181035215 - generally have no interest in organized climbing competitions as such, but got to admit that this is pretty cool - may have been tempted to grab the board and take a ride down to check it out if we'd known...
... also like their event hat... don't know whose photos we've used here, but thanks...
... we had a short 'Deep Water Bouldering' segment at the end of our earlier 'Bouldering' film (http://www.wildfilmproductions.com/cinema.html) which we photographed way back in 1998 - forward thinkers as always around here...
...the 'Way Cool Piers' are fun for stuff like this as well - though not nearly as difficult, they're still a long plunge into the drink...
