| Account | Marshall Fox successfully exiting Squeeze Play. Geoff Kohl boofing the first part of a long technical rapid. Actually, that discribes about 90% of Bee Creeks rapids. Milt Aitken running Squeeze Play. You can see the squeeze on the right side of the photo. The left squeeze rock is undercut and the right is a seive. Now thats FUN! Marshall Fox running Squeeze Play. The large rock on the right of the photo is undercut with a swirly hole and the rock I am standing on is a seive. Stinger is one of the larger rapids on Bee. There is a submerged rock (stinger) at the bottom of the drop which forms a wave hole and strong eddy line. So, the object is to charge from left to right and end up in the eddy below. This rapid would be right at home on the Gauley. Nice! The Bee Creek gage is actually on Glade Creek at the put-in bridge. 0" was a meaty medium level. I've heard it paddled down to -6". +6" would probably be Gaulyesk with very nasty holes. Scotts Gulf Road is as tough as any rapid you will find on Bee Creek. 4wd with good clearance is recommended, however you can get down it with a 2wd as long as you have good clearance and know how to drive on seriously unmaintained roads. Nevertheless, 2wds WILL have problems in two or three very rutted/muddy spots that will become impassible from time to time. If you don’t have any problems, the drive down Scotts Gulf Road will take about 20 minutes one way. The entire shuttle for Bee Creek is 1 hour 15 minutes ONE WAY! Good luck!! |
