	Using Google Earth, I found the gradient from knucklehead down to the bridge. I found Suck creek on the map where it meets the river. I followed the river bed and used the drive-way across from the Knucklhead take-out as a reference point. From here, I found what I thought to be knucklehead. By dragging the mouse cursor from left to right the lowest elevation given is the creekbed. The elevation was 763 ft. From this number, I subtracted the cross-sectional elevation just upstream from the bridge, 646 ft. This gives a total drop of 117 feet. Do you think this figure is accurate, is there any other measument listed? thanks, taft
