Big Sandy Creek (Cheat trib.)

Rob F----Hey, so I noticed some people have finally caught on to the northern approach to the put-in from the Morgantown-Bruceton Mills road; you have to turn south at Laurel Run (unmarked), near the bridge that you drive over. This approach is good only if you have a high-clearance vehicle to run the shuttle. People with low-clearance vehicles should maybe park on the south side at the top of the hill and walk the 1/2 mile or so down to the put-in. The problem is that many of us can't drive up the hill alongside Sovern Run, the short, direct shuttle route. Running the shuttle via the north side adds about 40 minutes each way. (Please don't drive like maniacs---it's bad PR, you know!) P.S. That tree at Graveyard Rock (downstream of 'First Island') is still quite potentially hazardous at low water, despite the fact that the streamkeeper keeps deleting my warning!
