would like help cutting out this run. ryanvincent313@yahoo.com let me no

<b>Update as of Sept 18 2004 - run at 1 foot - lower dam gauge</b><br>
Only three stainers are currently in the creek that are of any concern. The first is at the first
large drop (upper section) and may look run-able at high flow creek right - it's not. Portage right
side if possible. Don't confuse this with the section known as "The Death Cave" this left
to right move avoids a strainer but is not considered blocked.<br>
The second is at a semi-blind drop in the middle of run (near concrete retaining wall along
Turnpike) - it to needs to be walked. Although it might be do-able going right to left with a boof
(however, there is a possible pinning rock in that boof line so take care - not recommended).
Portage right side - left side suks!<br>
Final stariner is towards the end of the run and is biggest of 3 (has the ROADWAY trailer door
stuck in it) and can be walked around or crawled over (if out of boat). <br>
There are a lot of brambles along the shores and in the eddies so watch your hands and more
importantly your eyes. There is also part of a turnpike guard rail in the creek mid way but it can
be easily missed. <br>
Take care and have fun. Duration to run 3 to 4 hours - even though it is short do to scouting. Oh
and don't forget the dams and Freeman Falls. Be kind and polite to land owners.<br>
<br>
PS: The effort the lads did on cleaning out this run is outstanding! Kudos to Zach, Dan and the
others.

As of Spring 2004 a small group of dedicated paddlers have made a couple passes down through the
creek to "clean out" the debris from dumping, high water, logging and Turnpike
construction. Although not completely clear the run is "do-able" if care is taken with in
boat scouting.
