The Old Trap Ain't What It Use To Be





Friday – March 18: The bear trap pictured here appears to be falling apart. It's the one located up McQueen's Run near the road to 18th Street Heights. Many of the rails are missing. The debris and silt is piled so deep that the course of the creek is diverted out around the right side of the trap when looking down stream. Unless the water is extremely high, so it can flow over the top of everything piled up in front of it, it appears to be useless. There was no evidence of water flowing through the middle or to the left side. Even if the water level is high enough to go through the middle there's not much left to hold anything back. Sadly there's no money or personnel to work on them.

In the meantime it continues to eat away at the hillside.

But what do we know...
