Re: baker or crooked
4 of us managed a low water run on Baker Friday.
For future reference, note that I think there have been some changes at the slab. We used to say that if there was a surfable wave at the bridge, then Baker was high enough. Yesterday, there was no surf wave, and more than a foot of airspace; at take out time we paddled UNDER the bridge, something I have never done before. Yet we had enough water for a fun run - it was low, don't get me wrong, but it was not what I would call "scrape down" low (where you have to push with your hands one or more times.
Be aware, you can now run the entire creek without any portages of trees, but the wood is on the move and that could change at any time. Be on the outlook for logs across the channel.
