Skedaddle Creek

Skedaddle Creek, 1922

In keeping with the theme of Go Exploring, Skedaddle Creek and Mountain is worth not just one, but many visits. Actually, for the record we did a BLM tour many years ago crossing the mountain from Honey Lake Valley to Bull Flat. Of course, one of more interesting historical sites is the remnants of the Skedaddle Dam.

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.

  1. Tim; You mention Skedaddle dam in your latest post and the that you visited it “a long time ago”. I think we were on that trip with the BLM along . It was an all-dayer and we needed 4wd vehicles and had to bring our lunches. It was early 1990s maybe 1992 or 1993. Is that the trip you are referencing? It was great and we often talk about it. We remember driving down a very steep dirt road to get down to dam level.
