Kentucky Color: Alternate Beaver Lodge, streamside 2012-01-27 - Somewhere - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Beaver Corps of Engineers site selectors' chose a streamside lodge construction sometimes, as above, when when the stream's flow rate is too fast and the volume of flow is too great to be conducive for lodge building in the stream itself. In more placid situations and more often, they build island residences, with underwater entrances for security. In either case, by beaver standards, the homes are dry and cozy.

For the skeptics of the 25 Plus Lb. City of Columbia Beavers 2012-01-26 - Green Hills, inside limits of Columbia, KY - Photo by B.J. Fudge. Reasonable men/women will accept the word of Billy Joe Fudge evidence of the 25 Plus Pound City of Columbia dwelling Beaver, but there always springs up a Confederacy of Dunces to oppose knowledge. For those a little doubtful, we posted the Toothmarks photo, but some people won't believe their own eyes; the photo above is to help cure theirn unbelief. This photo of the gnawed off big log the Beaver cut down puts the entire matter into perspective. Beyond that, save for the humane - and legal - capture of the booger we hardly know what to do.

Wayside Marker for Camp Boyle, Columbia, KY 2012-01-26 - 910 Campbellsville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A Wayside Marker: in the drive at 910 Campbellsville Road, Columbia, KY, commemorates Camp Boyle. The marker tells the story of Camp Boyle, later Camp Gilbert. On the left hand side can be seen just a few of artifacts found on the farm. Joe Lynn Barbee, the grandson of Joe R. Barbee, said that at one time, before the farm was scoured with a metal detector and taken away, relics of the Civil War were regularly found on the place. Family lore is that one major battle was fought around a ravine on the farm, and that other skirmishes took place on the Campbellsville Pike, at least as far north as Day & Day Mill's present location. "When I was a kid," he said, "we found relics of the battle every year when our garden was plowed." Chris Bennett has suggested raising $2,500 to have to place a Kentucky Historical Society marker on the site, pending approval by the Society. With very little promotion, at least $525 is pledged to seeing the marker a reality. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
