Comments:
No significant straightening observed, but multiple ATV crossings throughout entire reach. These have been noted as "fords" and will be entered w/ FIT. Many mass failures, abundant bar features indicate aggradation and widening. Numerous gullies enter reach from surrounding neighborhoods which carry with them large sediment loads. Despite intact buffer conditions, reach is in fair conditions in stage IIb of channel evolution.
