Man Attacked by Killer Mountain Beaver!

Early yesterday morning a hiker was attacked by a what has been identified as a ‘Killer Mountain Beaver.’ The attack occured in the vicinity of Red Pine Lake located within the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. The hiker, SamIAm, shows the damage below.

“He nearly pulled my arm off” explained Mr IAm, “I could only save myself by poking a thumb into his eye.” Often called a marmot, the Killer Mountain Beaver is described as the ‘Great White’ of the Wasatch Range. A nearby hiker was able to capture an image of the beast.

“This is the first photographic proof of the existence of a Killer Mountain Beaver” says Professor Johannes Wryen, Director of the Centre for Loch Ness and Aplodontia Rufa Studies and adjunct professor at the Institute for Cold Fusion. “A positive identification can be made based on the lack of a beaver-like tail or any beaver-like characteristics.” he added.

The wounded hiker is reported to be recovering well from his injuries.

in other news…..

SamIAm and sirloinofbeef made a pleasant ascent of the Pfeifferhorn – Cheeseburgers in tow. The standard route to the Pfeifferhorn begins from the White Pine Trailhead and includes 4.5 miles of hiking with 3700 feet of elevation gain. The route passes by both Lower and Upper Red Pines Lakes…..

and ascends a steep rib to the divide between the Red Pine and Dry Creek drainages. The views from the top of the Pfieifferhorn were tremendous.

The Cheeseburger was prepared from beef that had been lovingly dry-aged for 4 weeks in the refrigerator. The night before it was fresh-ground and cooked on the outdoor grill. The next day it still tasted like a cold Cheeseburger.
