Current Report
I visited the the lower
portion of the East Fork from
the Cattle Canyon bridge to
the fire camp. I was there on
Saturday and I was practically
alone. It was like being there
on a weekday.
The force of the storm waters
cut a new path for the river.
At Follow's Camp the storm
waters took trees and picnic
tables out and cut a cliff
like bank as deep as 9 feet
(my estimate) at the river's
bend. During the storm the
camp hostess was advised to
move all of the camp vehicles
onto the road. The water had
threatened the camp bridge. If
the bridge had gone out they
would have been stranded. The
torrent left a dry, deep,
wide, treeless path adjacent
to the stream through Follow's
Camp.
I called Camp Williams. They
said the camp is closed for
repairs. They plan to open
again for Memorial Day. The
cafe appears to be open.
The flooding tore out all the
river pools. The river flows
rapidly through its present
shallow course. There aren't
very many places for fish to
hold. It will be interesting
to see how the natural
surroundings recover.
