Trip Report

Ran it after the big rains we got Tuesday, and Gooney was good to go. Levels were between 9' and 12'. There were two pieces of wood in road-side part, but both were passable to the left and easy to see. First Falls has some wood in the scouting eddy, and a log across the left channel that would be hard to see over 12'. There was also a river-wide must portage log about 5-6 rapids down from that, but, it was pretty easy to spot as the river bent to the right. Other than that, all clear.
I'd say Sandy did minimal damage to the run, this just looked like standard Gooney trees. Didn't see a lot of snapped branches or trees hanging in from the shore like I see a lot in WV now.
