Beautiful Sunday along the creek.

Evidence from February's 14,000cfs flood are evident everywhere, with tree trunks stripped of their bark after being battered by debris up to about 15 feet in height. Still, the creek is in remarkably good condition, and travel was no more difficult than it was last fall before the flood. And unlike farther downstream, the couple of good camp sites along this route were still intact.

Comparing photos to last year, I see that a lot of vegetation down low has been cleared out, but I didn't notice the difference while there, only when comparing photos.

It's always interesting to see the results of the power of mother nature.
