Please stop calling it Whychus Creek... It's Squaw Creek, always has been always will be. Thanks!

@motoboarder69 I appreciate that you are sharing this information. Here is the updated information on the name by the National Wild & Scenic Rivers:

"Please note that legislation has been introduced to change the name to Whychus Creek.

Headwater in the Three Sisters Wilderness on the east slope of the Cascade Range. The river is comprised of a series of deep, bedrock canyons and high, twisting waterfalls, several of which are visible from central Oregon viewpoints many miles to the east"

I understand that the Libs in Salem changed the name because it wasn't Politically Correct. I guess they should change the name of "Sisters" because it is a slang term that Black People use... Ridiculous. I'm sorry Wahoo it's not your fault.
