Trip Report

There is a strainer in the upper gorge just before twist and shout aka elbow crusher. Its on the creek left side and very hard to see on a river Left scout. Boaters are regularly getting pinned under this large log each time I'm there. They usually get minimal help to get out or mostly to manage gear in the swim out. Scout it on river right to easily see the log. Make a bigger move to the right staying higher to miss the big log. My last run in February saw there was now another less troublesome log stacked in there too. Last seen you could ride out the right side around the one big log and over the new one in the landing pool. Its likely to pick up more wood in this pile.
