I think I took up my inlaw’s parlance … they are always calling the lodge in the back yard a dam. Damn them.

Great Beaver-Cam!

Is that the Old 60 or the New 60?

The first photo appears to be of a beaver lodge. The dam (if there is one) would be on the outlet stream. Here’s an insider’s view http://www.mnzoo.com/animals/animals_livecam_beaver.asp

Fixed. I’m not sure how I made that mistake. I’ve really spent very little time among those buildings … most of my time has been at the research station.

I just sent you an email, but wanted you to know that the picture you’ve indicated as Douglas Lodge really is Nicolette Court. Douglas Lodge is the building right behind it in your picture. Nicolette Court used to be more of a ‘motel’ type place to stay, with double beds on I believe the first floor and two single beds on the second floor. This accomodation used to boast that it had ‘bathroom facilities’ in each room, whereas at Douglas Lodge, some of the rooms had to share a common restroom and shower. There was no ‘bathtub’ available for the single rooms at Douglas Lodge, but if you booked one of the ‘suites’, these had bathrooms.

I miss that place so much and want to go back SOON!

Wish I was still there, although I may get involved in some research myself up there next summer. I’ll see if I can afford 3-4 weeks away. I almost thought you stole some of my photos, since I think we were often standing in about the same place albeit separated by a couple of weeks.

I notice there are no photos of fungi, Ill have to get some of mine together.
