No Difficult Wood

Ran the scheduled release with another boat and we had fun. Only one real log that was in some flat water, and it was easy to bump up against it, and step onto it and drag our raft over it and hop back in. Outside of that, unless you swam or were not paying attention, there wasn't any real wood to be an issue. There was one log (noted as Log #3 on the map) around a right bend, that if you went far river left, you would end up in trouble, but going middle to right, the log was submerged with just a fun pour over.

We put in at the bridge and there was a clean porta-potty there, the same with take out. Friendly people from SMUD doing user surverys. Please run this section, so they keep the releases going!!!
