NEW CREEK

Initial scouting only, but this put-in area looked good on this hard to get to creek.

Two branches combine here to provide two square miles of drainage:

Nice fall just below the confluence:

Looking downstream; didn't go any farther than this:

Road in has several bad spots; there was a drop off on both sides at this spot; truck barely fit on the remaining road:

Don't know if I will risk driving that neglected road again since there were several similar washouts. The road that is left is undermined at these spots.
