Almost inexplicably, in this creek (and in too many other places), engineering firms are contracted to put gabions (wire baskets filled with rock) on streambanks in an attempt to control erosion. The problem is, almost everywhere I've seen them used, I've seen them fail, resulting in tangled wire in the river!
