Thanks for all the pointers...

We spent this week out there, and I had some better, though uneducated, looks at things: The muskrats appear to have abandoned these dens, for now, so I'll take your advice, Bill, and cover the dam in that area with some stone.

The drain is still exposed, and doesn't look washed out around the pipe.

Finally, thanks for your advice on calling Dave Sefton. I figure that some expert advice now will save me some major grief later, and I plan on calling him. My sister-in-law lives in the same town as Dave......

Thanks again, everyone.
