The huge log that was jammed horizontally under the right undercut in Iron Ring rapid (has been there at least 30 yrs) fell out and wedged into the 1st drop above Woodstock Rock. It blocks the drop but should start going under at 4-500 cfs. Unsure but it probably won't change things much at fall flows. It probably is going to move some more. Recommend anyone running less than fall flow stop and check out any possible changes. So far there hasn't been more than 200 cfs there since it fell.

After the pin at Initiation this year i started putting together a page devoted to explaining the dangers of this rapid and providing historical info on previous incidents. It includes accident / rescue reports, along with pictures and video. Please be careful out there and know exactly where this rapid is and how to run it.
