The Beaver Hunt

So here's the deal: Last week I was working in a place called Xenia, Ohio. Xenia is in the middle of nowhere and there's not a whole lot to do there. Nearby, however, is a ritzy suburb wannabe called Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek is celebrating its 25th anniversary and in celebration has commissioned 25 beaver statues to be decorated and placed throughout the town.

Now, picture this: It's after 1 am, I'm a little tipsy, and we have been in this town for a week with nothing to do. It's time for a beaver hunt!!! Me and my friend erik drove around in the dark (he wasn't drinking, cause drinking and driving isn't cool) and found as many of the beaver statues as we could--meaning we found all of them that hadn't been stolen or thrown into ponds. Here is the result of all the toil. Enjoy!

Beaver #1 was alongside the highway. I didn't know what this beaver was so curious about

Our next beaver was found near the YMCA. That sign next to it saying not to touch the beavers told me that "Beavercrete" was just asking for a ride.

This one was actually a pretty cool beaver. Loving the starry night swirlage, plus I am running out of bad beaver jokes quickly.

I have no idea what this one is supposed to be. A scientific beaver? I'm spent.
