I Scooped the Beavers!

{ Life, PDX }

October 18, 2007

My post last week about beavers around here caught the attention of my friend Aimee, who works for the Oregonian. She says in an email:

I just wanted to send you a thank you for the posting you made last week about the beaver-fallen tree next to the Hawthorne Bridge. I thought you made a pretty cool find, so I went there to check it out myself. And I don’t know if you saw today’s Oregonian, but I ended up writing a story. So thanks for the indirect tip!!

Awesome. Right now the story is on OregonLive’s home page, but you can go directly to the story right here (warning: annoying demographics wall before you get in).

Thanks, Aimee, and I really hope you don’t mind me quoting your email!
