The slide appears to have delivered woody debris with the two logs at right. The angular material of the stream bed is characteristic of a stream that has recent landslides. Materials eroded from stream banks are rounded, having previously been transported. Photo taken by Vivian Bolin in 1992.

The bridge greatly reduces likelihood of crossing failure and attendant sediment delivery. Steelhead were seen spawning in the reach of the stream adjacent. Photo by Vivian Bolin. Taken in 1992.
