TLDR
Middlefork out to Thunder Creek. Main notes:
- Very wet, but what do you expect in March!
- Rock Creek was the only slightly uncomfortable ford, but do-able.
- Thunder Creek was not fordable and the log bridge is out.
Detail
Nice day hike out along the Middle fork - was considering camping in the backcountry campsite, but was so wet that I decided to turn back. The campsite is in pretty good shape though for the interested.
Did the Rock Creek (~mile 8) ford on the way out with some ease, bushwacked a little downstream to where the creek splits to make for easier crossing.
Thunder Creek (~mile 10) though was a torrent when I got there and I wasn’t comfortable crossing the little logs over the river. There is an easy access point to Dutch Miller Gap road, which I think I would take next time.
