Billy Nine chilling out at the Dianmond Creek confluence. As you can see, diamond creek (top right of photo) adds substantially to the flow.

Billy "Nine" chilling at the diamond creek confluence. Of the many beautiful places on this river, this might be the most beautiful.

If you are in the area, don't miss "Stout Grove", a short drive from the takeout.

The endangered Darlingtonia plant can be seen everywhere on this river. It is also call "pitcher plant" and lives by eating insects. A flesh eating plant, how cool is that!
