Its like one of those word games where you re-arrange the letters. Could be dingford but the http://paddlersliberationfront.blogspot.com/2007/12/creeking.html - website I found the youtube on surely had it written up as drofgnid https://www.alpackaraft.com/index.cfm?section=faqs&page=Frequently-Asked-Questions&viewpost=2&ContentId=2690 - (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? ------------- Nomad |

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.
