Description

I went on a hike starting at Independence School Rd hiking downstream and saw at least 3 giant creekwide strainers. They were hard to hike through and so I definitely wouldn't want to boat through them. I remember back in the day having to portage constantly cause of strainers in this region. Only run this section at a scrapy level or I wouldn't at all.
