comments	Robert Farmer--- So, I happened to be in the area, the other day, to get the phone number of a certain redhead who was running the Savage over the 4th of July weekend, and I decided to wander over to the Crabtree, not really thinking that I would do anything. However, feeling a mixture of altruism and virtue combined with perhaps a smidgen of vindictiveness and foresight, I decided that my old log nemesis (the one that nearly killed me---see earlier comment below) really should be removed. Because it was in too-deep a gorge to approach directly, I cleverly approached it pretty casually from downstream. Long story short, I cut out the evil log, which was only slightly less dangerous at this point in time than when I paddled by, as well as about a dozen branches from a mostly-fallen tree on the right shore that were completely blocking the creek. For good measure, I cut out some other exceptionally annoying branches that blocked a perfectly delightful little slide. So is this delightful little creek safe to paddle now? Not by a long shot! But the only log on this creek that really put the fear of gods into me is now vanquished, until another one replaces it there or somewhere else. Enjoy! And don't forget to wear your scouting booties!
