We had to wade through many stream crossings on our way down along the North Fork of the Kings River.  I think this might be the creek that drains Bench Valley.

The little cable car at the gauging station that the power company maintains on the North Fork of the Kings River to measure water volume.  The system is all automated these days but occasionally the cable car is still used to verify the measurements that the automated sensors take.
