Phil Garrity, Project Coordinator for the club and planner of the infamous event, commented on the "severely inadequate number of Planeteers allowed to go to this project." Garrity contended that "I feel bad more people who wanted to couldn't come, but I really think we were better off without eight people per canoe." However, seating logistics proved to be the least of these bold canoers’ worries.

     The chosen five Planeteers, Evan Aguirre, Nicho Campos, Joe Garrity, Phil Garrity and Adam Silva, were not alone in their fateful goal of "demolishing the living crap out of a beaver home," as shouted bluntly by Aguirre from his canoe. Dawn Lindstrom of the Putah Creek Council and other ambiguously identified men, perhaps of the state Department of Fish and Game, guided the caravan of "highly inept, obnoxious, and frankly burdensome high schoolers," reported Lindstrom. As the leader of the troupe explained, "our mission was to remove a beaver dam on Putah Creek to help the Salmon population cross other dams with help from the surge of newly released water." 

     The young Planeteers, who admit that "we didn't hear a word [Lindstrom] said," sought only to demolish the heaping mass before them. Evan Aguirre, a valued member of the Fire Committee, described first seeing the "looming wooden structure, absolutely mammoth in its proportion to our meager vessels." The colossal monument Aguirre and the other canoers saw was a roughly 25 foot beaver dam, "that was just calling to my metal rake/ax," said Phil Garrity. 

     Docking their canoes in a nearby marsh, the team set to work "taking furious hacks at the residence of a creature that has terrified me for years," reported Aguirre. As a small fissure was broken in the heaping wooden mass, the flow of water is said to have grown exponentially powerful, until Planeteer Phil Garrity was nearly taken by the current. "It took us only about twenty minutes to absolutely obliterate the home, " said Earth member Nicho Campos. "It was really a matter of getting mad at those buck-toothed freaks and channeling that anger into your sledge-hammer."

     The morning ended with a tearful salute to the steadily flowing river, and as the band of weary travelers canoed easily downstream, all that could be heard above the sweet autumn sound of larks and the fragrant elms crowding the banks was the trivial observation that "Adam just peed in his waders." Silva reports only that "the waders are mine, so I can do what I want with them." 

     In a closing remark, Planeteer Joe Garrity commented that "it's a real shame more Planeteers couldn't enjoy this awesome time with us. But hey, maybe Glenn Coffman will learn to get up in the morning."
