Another thing -- it might run more often than you would expect. At the very least, it's probably pond/swamp fed...When I ran part of it, Sandy was absurdly low and this thing was running at a fine level.

Sometime between two and three years ago, I think, Chris Brost and I ran the bottom five or six drops of this run. We were running the Sandy at a low level -- really low -- and we got to this creek and it was cranking, comparatively, so we started hiking up and ran a few drops. The first was a funky, narrow winding 8 or so foot drop that fell off a 2-4 foot ledge at the bottom right towards a rock sticking out (that is tough to dodge). The biggest drop we ran was a 10+ foot slide into a pillowed rock above a narrow hole at the bottom. The runout into the Sandy was a little funky -- channelized, a little bony, and had some wood in it.
Looks like a great run, although I haven't seen anymore than what I saw when I hiked up those drops. Can't wait to try it from the top.
