[QUOTE="xcvator, post: 361868, member: 8322"] I'd like to add an experience we ( a group of people ) encountered on the upper reaches of the Wellington River above Licola several years ago. Happily sitting in the river having a few ales as you do, the 10 year old kids splashing around in the shallow water, when suddenly 2 of them disappeared into holes about 7 feet deep that had been left from dredgers. When we investigated a bit more we found another 3 or 4 holes, all around 7 or 8 feet across and 5 to 8 feet deep. The rest of the river was about 18" deep mostly, so these holes that the dredgers left were quite dangerous. I don't know if that was normal behaviour for dredgers, but it left a sour taste in our mouths :N: [/QUOTE]
