Risky Business/ Signs, Signs

Seen at a conservation area

I wanted to check out the beaver, but I had a sprained ankle so decided the not-maintained trail might be way too risky...this time. Yep, I want to go back!

I would love for you to go back, cause that means we get to see some great photos. Sorry to hear you sprained your ankle, I hope it is feeling better.

Rebecca said...

Those pesky beavers causing all that flooding! :)

Lorac said...

Of course you will go back EG! Take care of that ankle!

Halcyon said...

Where was this? I want to see a beaver too! :)

Marvin said...

Ya just can't trust those beavers and should always apply caution when using one. Great sign. Hope you are able to make it back and walk the trail.

Rose said...

This makes me giggle--don't know why.

Everything Changes said...

That's either one hefty beaver, or perhaps they meant the beaver's construction. :-)

Not a sign you see everyday.

VioletSky said...

yeah, always blame the beaver (singular??)

Gemma Wiseman said...

So strange to see signs almost in overlap mode! Maybe the implication is that one is just as important as the other! So strange to see a beaver sign like this! For a sign to be made about beaver, the beaver's work must have been developing over some time!

"Leave it to Beaver," as they say! Great find. Hope your ankle mends quickly.

Andy said...

So, the beaver do give a dam.

LOL on Andy's comment.

RedPat said...

Wonderful capture EG!

Lowell said...

So how'd you sprain your ankle? Prob'ly slipped on SNOW! Yes?

It's a good thing you didn't take a hike on this trail as you would no doubt have seen a beaver, become so excited you'd a dropped yer camera and then you'd a took a pitcher of the sky as your body hit the ground.

And you'd a ended up with two sprained ankles!

Inger-M said...

Do the beavers cause the flooding, or are they a hazard by themselves? Do they jump out and trip you? Do they attack? Is the maintenance crew afraid of the beavers? Is that why they don't maintain it in winter? The possible interpretations here seem multiple...

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

Oh yeah, you need to wait until your ankle's well -- and maybe until summer -- pretty scary combo of signs ;>)

Genie said...

I just asked my hiker husband if he had ever seen a sign like the beaver one, and he said he had seen one in New Jersey. Those guys can really do heavy work. genie

Lesley said...

Hope your ankle improves soon.
Does this mean the beavers don't maintain the trail in winter?

Luna Miranda said...

beavers cause the flooding???
i hope your ankle heals soon.

Ebie said...

I am curious, could there be anything written after risk in the first sign?

Heal fast!

Pat said...

Those damn beavers!

Great catch!
