Stave Lake is littered with hundreds of these old soldiers. When the river was dammed and the lake formed to generate power for the insatiable appetite of us humans, the once beautiful trees that resided in the valley were simply abandoned. Decades later their ghosts, still standing silently in the water, are a silent witness to the destructiveness of man. Even now their latent beauty is a marvel to behold. This scene was discovered on September 25, 2004.
