comments	Three of us put in under the I-90 bridge, lots of new wood, first portage was in Preston just past the second bridge. Three more portages later and we were at Cheese grader, we were able to run it clean river left of the island. Only major problem is a new sweeper (was up stream now after the flood it moved down) at the entrance to the canyon. The gauging statiion said 350cfs and at that level we were just able to ride up and over the log, then hard river right and hit the canyon rapid. We were in Aire Lynx II's. One more river wide log across the dike (past the green bridge easily seen from the Fall City Bridge) easily made it under. Last but not least, just before the confluence of the Snoqualmie, there is a river wide quagmire of alder trees, river wants to take you left right into them, keep right and slelp. Vastly different river compared to our November 2008 clean run with no portages. We figure 420 is the perfect level to run it.
