Dangerous riverwide log early in run

| Gauge Reading | 1050 cfs at THOMAS CREEK NEAR SCIO, OR |
| Flow | Low Flow |
We ran Lower Thomas between spikes of higher water and found it delightful for surfing even at 1050cfs. The riverwide log previously reported by Eric is still lodged across the main channel and would be devastating for an inattentive group. There is a far river right sneak which we were able to run in one-person craft. The route is to cut into a small side channel by going between clumps on grass on river right above the rapid. The side channel goes around a blind turn, and below that point you go under the tip of the huge tree that's blocking the main channel.
