Wood below Swizzle SticksCarter Wray

120ish yards below the crux move of Swizzle or about 1/4 of the way between the top of Swizzle and the top of terminator is a tree trunk over 18' diameter, at 45 degree angle, top on the right cliff about 10' off the water, bottom just below the waterline on the left. You can see it from the river left eddy above the crux move of Swizzle. I did not see any horizontal branches even @ 280 cfs & could get around it on the right or left, but it is in a dynamic part of the river with most of the current going straight at it.
