He said to himself that he’d remember Billy’s observations and share his wisdom with his old and new friends during his trip down the river. With his tail moving behind him at a fast clip, Sammy decided to check out the river’s surface above him; he saw the shadows of two-legged peopl... Full story

Once out of that jam, he decided to swim homeward. While still in Canada, he swam his way through murky waters, gushing into the river from pipes sticking out from the river's bank. Hoping to escape the mess, he dove down to the river's bottom where the muck settled; he was making... Full story

Did Sammy leave his park site? Not so long ago in the summer of 2012, possibly 100 or more trees, many planted when the town was in its infancy, were toppled or uprooted in that weird storm, including two evergreens, towering spruce, that stood in the Mason City Park in Coulee Dam.
