This is the dam across the Au Train River that forms Forest Lake.  The dam is located about five miles south of Dana's Lakeside Resort on Highway 94 just a short distance east of Forest Lake Road.  The water level of Au Train Lake has gone down a little, but we're not ready to put in the dock just yet.

"Yesterday," Peterson said to the television audience, "in the typewriter in front of the Olivetti showroom on Fifth Avenue, I found a recipe for 10 Ingredient Soup that included a stone from a toad's head."

- the character Peterson, from a short story by Donald Barthelme
