Did the Lower Blackwater Saturday April 6th. There is one tree above Rock and Roll that blocks most of the channel, there's a path through on the left, but, it's got lots of branches. We walked right. There's a river-wide log in the run out at the 2nd bridge...easy to portage around/over.

Everything else is 'clear'...in that you can run every rapid, but one of the channels is usually blocked with a log or branches. Especially after the cascade midway through the run, the 2 miles of rapids below that have a tree in basically every rapid. There's one towards the end that blocks the right channel chest high and would be especially nasty. Still very runnable as a whole, but, keep on your toes, as I'm sure some of it will shift.
