Tree Warning

Gauge Reading800 cfs at Payette; South Fork below Deadwood Confluence

Ran Swirly's 4/27/13 and there was a sign on the put in ramp warning of a tree across the river. There was indeed a tree fully across the river in one of the narrowest sections of the Canyon but it was mostly submerged at 800cfs from the gauge at the SF Payette/Deadwood confluence. It looks challenging to cut out as its submerged but we were able to eddy out above it and float our 14' oar rig though no problem so there may be no need to cut it out either...
