 Less room than usual due to high water. The pond on the back side is high
 
 Lunch eaten, I went back down Creek.

    This is as recent as I have. And, it only covers one third of the Creek. Ask about conditions when you get your permit. And be aware they can change daily.

Well, I tried to allow Anonymous postngs. As soon as I did, I had the same problem with the same person/spammer posting comments. One jerk spoils it for all. So,you'll need to register to post a comment.
