Just got off of a dawn patrol Mann's Run with Todd Richendollar, Justin Burd and Wisconsin John. (Note: A dawn patrol Mann's run after a night at Charlies is a horrible idea)
Great day, good weather and good water, but LOTS of new wood. We'll try and run tomorrow with a chainsaw, but there's some bad stuff...here's the skinny.
1) New logs across the top of "Pillage and Plunder" - blocks the left and center lines at the top. Portage left (sucks) and put in to run the middle and bottom.
2)Still a log right above "On-Ramp". Eddy out and Portage it on the right.
3) Big branch blocking the left exit to "Crack". Boof the top, big left stroke on the landing, and the right exit is good to go.
4) 1 Rapid below "Pick-a-slot", there's a tree in the exit. Easy to avoid...eddy out right and ferry above it.
5) 2 Rapids below "Pick-a-slot" (directly after the one mentioned above) there are 2 HORRIBLE logs that block the entire creek. This rapid involves starting on the left side (going around and island basically) and working back right. The logs are in a blind spot, and you CAN'T SEE THEM UNTIL YOU ARE ALREADY COMMITTED! There is a SMALL eddy directly on the left above the logjam. Portage from there. There is also a smaller eddy on the right that works. This is a horrible place for wood....lots of current, big logs...probably the ugliest wood I've ever seen on Mann's. The nature of the situation would make it very hard to help a pinned boater....USE CAUTION!
6) The second rapid below Liquid Drano has a log blocking the exit to the sweet boof in the center. Run far right....
Hope that helps....Be careful out there!

Just wanted to give an update on Manns Creek, West Virginia for the AW page:
MANNS CREEK HAS CHANGED (4/8/04)
If you run the creek now and have run it previously, you'll notice LOTS more little rocks in bad places. Not that there aren't clean lines, just that they are different now and with smaller margin for error.
ON RAMP is now portaged at lower levels due to the water changing course and making the normal line not so fun (usually a piton to flip into a pourover), but at higher levels (over 3 inches) you can run the nice boof on the right.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE THIS ONE changed a while back and now has a worse sieve, but is still run by some.
DRANO is the most dramatically changed rapid and even many of the locals portage on the right. It's still totally runnable, just worse consequences if you mess up. There's some new wood, but nothing unavoidable. The creek still kicks ass and is still one of my favorite local runs.
