New rockfall/class IV rapid near campsite 10/Goose Creek

There is a new rockfall just below campsite 10/Goose Creek that creates a class 4 rapid, just as the river bends right (37.33809, -112.95566). There's an easy eddy on river left. Portaging right would be tough but doable, with the put-in in swift water. Our kayakers ran the rapid while the packrafters and duckies portaged left (but not all the way left due to a strainer), and plopped down in a 1-boat eddy to resume down-river travel.
