I run by here 3 times a week - hopefully this is the last body before IM weekend. You may recall the body recovered last year, or was it '09?

I’m surprised that snakes didn’t get it.

You don’t have to worry about the snakes, usually the beavers grab the body and use it to help build dams… Maybe even a river otter!

Boy, I glad I swam in the pristine Okanagan lake last week in beautiful penticton. Is that a trouser snake?

Now that I’d like to see - a beaver using a human body to build a river otter! FrankenOtter?

There was a body in 08 and 09. I think they found one about a week before the race last year.
