Groundhogs burrow into the ground, slipping there, hibernating and rearing young. They can move up to 35 cubic feet of soil when digging their burrows. That, in and of itself, can be destructive, depending upon where they decide to put the burrow. Groundhogs do go into a true hibernation state.

This is the Paint Your Wagon movie site, as it looked July 2002. The movie stared Lee Marvin, Clint Eastwood and Jean Seberg. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band also appears. Costing twenty million to make in 1968. The site is located in Baker County, Oregon in the Eagle Cap Mountains along East Eagle and Jack Creek. The site is a long drive from Baker City, Oregon over rough but good mountain roads. The scenery is beautiful but as I drove to the site I wondered how the moviemakers located it. It is very secluded. No Name City was built on this site but torn down after the movie was made as required by the forest service.
