Mandatory Portage at Premium

There is a very sizable log right in the middle of Premium right now. It likely will take at least 4,000 cfs or more to get it out of there. As it is, the log is just above water level at 750-800, and really hard to see from above. Eddy out river right to portage. You can seal launch right off the log where the boat is in this photo right back into the center of the bottom drop of Premium.
Also, currently the road is closed due to the forest fire. Although we did not have any smoke, the road is closed before the campground, so getting in requires some really good navigation skills to get from the furthest pullout down to the river.
