Since the floods this last thaknsgiving the middle fork has changed again.

All of the rapids have cleaned up with the exception of Hawaii five O. Scouting would be a good idea here.

S-bends no longer has the annoying pourover rock and has a nice snake like tongue through it. The log at super boof has shifted and is further downstream making it less of a consequence. Unfourtunately the 8 foot by 8 foot root ball is only hanging on by a small tree on the cliff wall. I am sure one group of paddelers will find it in the center stream someday.
