Don Goodman sent this report on the condition of the Big Beaver crossing to reach Access Creek & Luna Peak: Mitch B., Natala and I attempted a quick trip into Luna last weekend. We had great difficulty finding a crossing of Big Beaver. Eventually we did find a crossing at a huge log jam well downstream from the mouth of Access Creek. The jam is located opposite the "v" in "Beaver" on the USGS 7.5 min sheet (approx. 25 min travel time downstream from where Access Creek enters Big Beaver Creek). The swollen river was eating away at the true left bank of the river at this point. In fact, just 15 minutes prior to finding this jam we heard a very loud crash. Upon reaching the site of the jam we found a fresh 150' hemlock had just fallen onto the mess, its root wad undermined by the swollen river. Due to the delay in crossing the river, and various other circumstances, we gave up our attempt on Luna. Don Goodman 6/4/07
