This is an interesting stream which has a small drainage area of 32.1 square miles. In times of very wet years, it can be a raging to torrent. There were several proposals to dam the creek, which will be explored in a future column.
In 1994, the abandoned Skedaddle dam found a new use. It was used as tee-off for an unusual golf tournament. The one-hole course ended at Chalk Bluffs. This is one those tales, that needs no further details, but a good time was had by all.
Where about is this creek? I never heard of it. Need a map link to some of your posts Tim.

Love skedaddle creek! Hike up there frequently and enjoy a swim in the water holes during the summer . The wildlife is amazing.

This is the location of the dam. Almost on the Nevada/ California state line between the “chalk cliffs” light areas on either side of the streambed.
Chalk Bluffs is mile north the dam.
