What you didn't see on TV

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd share yesterdays adventure with you. These pictures really don't do the destruction justice, but I can't figure out how to load videos here.
For those of you not familiar with Calgary, the pictures below are of a large provincial park inside of our city limits. Here is a shot of one of the few remaining pathways leading up to a bridge.




Further ahead we discovered that the bridge was washed away! I guess you can see why.


Apparently the reason for this madness was a dam near the source of Fish creek (Priddis Alberta) that actually broke or at least breached on Friday Pm/Saturday Am. What you are looking at, is where one of many resident beavers used to live. Note the massive erosion.




Another bridge that just escaped destruction.


As kids we used to wade up and down this part of little Fish Creek looking for frogs and snakes.
