Bill, I was there a few years back (about 6 am) and it was solitude just the sound of water, could hear a pin drop. Settle in a pool in front of a beaver dam, as you said they came out and looked at it but no takers . . . but they were getting very close. On my right I saw a small beaver coming into the pool; not a ripple on the water, I just froze, maybe he'll go by, not a chance gets within 4 or 5 feet and "SLAP," just like a gun going off . . . home I went. :wallbash:
If I decide to get out I'll pm you for sure.
