I heard that this creek may have some possibilities…as far as falls go. Sure enough! We dropped in off the road at the top of a small eastern trib that runs into Stafford Creek. This small trib included one of the 8-9 falls we dropped during the day. Another beautiful drainage in the Oregon Coastal range.
Team: Karl, Keith, and Peter
I always wonder what the locals think when they round the corner and see us gearing up…
Just off the road, into the drainage…not much water
Over and under the mess….still looking for some water…
Finally, some water…and it’s falling over the edge…getting ready for the first rappel.
Peter half way down the low angle falls…
Keith heading down the second falls….
Peter is next…
A slug for my love, Deb…
Looking back at the second falls…
Peter on the short slide…
Looking down over the next drop…
Peter in the flow…
Keith in the flow…
More water, deeper pools…as we navigate down stream…
Looking up stream…

One step out of the pot hole…

Whew! made it out and down to the swimmer…
Looking back at the fun pot hole falls…
Another beautiful falls, with a great finish…

Any chance of a close up or explanation sometime about that anchor system you are using?
