This photo is at the usual put in behind the recycling center in Waterville Valley. The bridge was carried a couple hundred yards downstream by the flooding from Hurricane Irene.

Flooding from Hurricane Irene carried many strainers such as this on downstream.

Several sections of rt 49 that parallels the Mad were swept away during the storm. This section is below Smarts Brook rapid completely fell into the river shortly after this picture was taken.

This is a minimum flow run on the Mad.
