Took a slight detour and used the old original cat track that was the only way up to Kings before they
added the formal TH on Hwy 6 -

My watch over reported the EG, only off 150' or so:

I think that "very wet" is an understatement! You should be wearing a life jacket!

The "ex'stream'" part of your title is perfect!

I love the extsream creek sloshing pics! Is that the little bridge-less stream crossing near the Kings/wrt junction? That thing fills up fast!

Thanks all for the replies!

Been down with a pretty bad head cold since Sunday, probably due to my little foray into Dog Creek(?) when
making my prank picture of the streamy trail conditions :D

Yeah Sean, that's the one. It's the same stream just west of KMT that runs pretty much year round.
Used your stream footage technique too! :D

That's just awesome, EP! I hope to get out there soon to check out the damage done by all the recent rain and high winds.

How's your recovery from that bad head cold coming along?
