Note: Word is that the log has been removed as of 9/16.

As of 9/13/08, there is a hazardous log spanning about 3/4 of the river just below the
surface from the left bank at Hause Creek campground.  It's difficult to see at 2000+ cfs and may pose more of a danger at lower flows.  It's worth a scout.  From the campground, its just downstream of the electrical substation.  There is a split in the channel upstream of the log and the right channel is currently runnable, but most people were running the right side of the left channel and pulling hard to the right immediately after clearing the island and then pulling hard to center once past the log to avoid the large rock and eddy on the right side.  At lower flows, it's questionable whether the right channel will have enough water or if you can pull right of the log.  As of the morning of 9/14/08, the Forest Service had no plans to remove the log.

As of 9/16/08 there are reports that the log in Hause Ck. Campground has been winched out of the river. Keep your eyes open because there is other wood this year.
