Comments: Whiting creek appeared to not be present through agricultural field downstream. This appeared to be only channel present for Whiting crossing this road although the main Whiting channel is present upstream. Dry, heavily vegetated channel downstream. Defined channel upstream but seems unlikely to be fish bearing.
