The word on the street is that the wood in Rebirth is gone as of 7/24/08. Probably flushed out during one of the high water events we had recently.

Christian Woodward reported on 9-30-07:
The wood's still in there, as you can see from the linked picture (http://s157.photobucket.com/albums/t57/cswoodard/?action=view¤t=IMGP0267.jpg), but it has shifted a little bit downstream since that post, so that there's clearance to get through. The log is right in Rebirth, but as long as it's a reasonable level, you can get under on the right side. If you come up and run it and aren't sure about the clearance, there is a legitimate, though steep, path that you can walk down to the bottom of the Birth Canal and check.

Ditto on the log- it means we're back to a very stout portage which is NOT possible from the level immediately above the log-BE CAREFUL

CAUTION: As of 04/08/07, there is wood that has collected in the entrance to Rebirth. At low water, the log sits a foot or two above the water and extends across the entire drop.
