Sauk

Ran this today (3 packrafts and one hardshell kayak) at 1300cfs. I last ran it mid-October, before the recent big floods. Since then, 1-2 channel-spanning logs about a third of the way down, but more noteworthy is that halfway down the run, a big meander bend was cut off and abandoned. The river cut a new channel through the woods, mowing down about 10-15 acres of forest. New channel section had 1-2 channel spanning logs, but real mess was downstream back in the original channel, where all that forest got dumped. Currently completely impassable, piles of trees everywhere. We did a half-mile portage around it all and boated the second half of the run without incident. Hopefully some of the new wood blows out in future floods. Be careful!
