Coolidge Dam.
Seems I'm headed to the site of another pissing contest between humans and beavers. :P
Though this one was built by and is operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
And since I'm still sitting here waiting on my brother to get ready here is a line from the Wiki and a lovely quote from when it was dedicated.
San Carlos Lake is seldom full except in unusually wet periods. When former President Coolidge dedicated the dam, Cherokee humorist Will Rogers looked at the grass in the lake bed, and said, “If this were my dam, I’d mow it.”
Classic comedy. Have to love it.
