Looks like it might be the same Drofgind Creek that was in the Twitch Vid?

Its like one of those word games where you re-arrange the letters. Could be dingford but the website I found the youtube on surely had it written up as drofgnid (Alpacka Raft sales)d i n g f o r d d r o f g n i d

Good luck ever getting up there anymore. No bridge means an awful long walk to the top! 5 miles or more?

I hiked it a couple years back on river right. Much of what I saw, peering through branches and the like, hanging over verticle, smooth gorge walls, looked awesome but at the same time, I did not see many egress points. It seemed to me that knowledge of rope work would be needed but what do I know?
The 1 mile run from Wildcat Creek to Dingford Creek on the MM (below the gnar) is a fun section when the MM is at 1300 cfs btw.

The bridge is washed out at Taylor River, so you cant get up there anymore unless you hike 5 miles...
