The NPS moved the gate that was at the Matheny Ck bridge to a point up the road about 100 yds. I'm not sure what that accomplishes, but I guess somebody could throw their boat off the bridge and into the creek now if they wanted. I hiked up river to Streaters Monday, and there is a lot of new blowdown over the road, making it a much longer walk than it was. The nice long pool downstream of Streaters access seems to have all filled in with gravel, leaving it wide and too shallow to be good holding water. At least now I know it's not worth the hike.
