Comments: Fun day out. Cool but not cold and the sun peeked through the clouds a few times. Pretty creek, enjoyed the narrows and the challenge of finding our way down a number of short drops. Low pay to play. Oddly, there was no anchor material at any of the rappels. Left new webbing on the first two and quick links on the unlinked bolts. I wanted to leave a pair of QLs on each bolt for a better pull, but we only had three left. We put two on the pull side (top) and the rope came down nicely.
NOTE: We parked on the side of the freeway (the closer "trailhead") and when we returned, there was a large bright green abandoned vehicle sticker placed on the back window. It threatened the car would be towed after 24 hours. This wasn't a problem, and I don't forsee any future consequences, but it might be useful for some to know.

Comment: had a great day out. There was a little bit of pushing flow, but nothing troubling. Lots of fun down climbs and short but quality raps. a nice, casual trip in brilliant weather. Re-rigged bizarre anchor on the final drop.

Comment: Good quick morning run of the Lower Lindsey. Water was moving quickly and was painfully cold. Many rocks and logs were covered in ice.

Comment: Nice day for a quick run down Lower Lindsey. Downclimbs were fun! Easy to double strand rap a couple if anybody wants a handline. R3 and R5 were mostly dry raps. Hiked up to Lindsey Creek Falls for flow comparison and there was just a little bit of water flowing DCL of the chockstone, much more wood below the falls than what the other photos show on the main Lindsey Creek page
