Found two old wet slides on the backside of Beaver Mountain, beneath the rocks south of the top of Harry's, area called Sparrows. One slide was 40x200' the other 20x250'. Notable for their location and their apparent punch. As powerful as any slide I've seen at the Beav anyway. May have happened last Thursday in the morning sun.
