Another interesting day in the Basin. Stung twice by wasps, saw a beaver. Shawn, Ian and I went to Upper Grand River Flats. East side of the Basin. Nice, black water and scattered cypress. Up towards the end we got bogged down in water hyacinth a half mile short of a cut leading back into the borrow canal. The water's high, so we made a break for it through woods. On the way we saw an enormous beaver sitting placidly on a log. Then Shawn ran into a wasp nest, emitting three sharp yelps. Then, right before we got free, I felt a burning in my neck and on my thumb.
