FYI - all the wood on and under the 'bridge dam falls'(the main picture on this write-up) directly below Glebe Road and above the main rapid on Pimmit run has recently been removed by Arlington county. They do this every once in a while when the two drains beneath the bridge clog-up and cause that sweet ten foot fall with less water then usual. So know now that with the drains open and free flowing low flow runs will go right down the pipes with few eddies approaching them, medium flows will pool up against the bridge before it runs over, and it will take really high flows from lots of rain to create the fun water fall like in the pic.
