I would have taken a bit more water because it was pretty bump. It was the first rainfall after a long period of dry so the creek was nasty- in addition, there was a LOT of extra new garbage in the stream. I ended up talking with one of the locals and he said kids had been throwing his stuff into the creek- there was like 50 feet of rubber electrical hose in one rapid, some downed trees I had to portage, and a trampoline right in the middle of the creek. This was all before even getting to the canyon section. I feel like this needs a few clean-up days to get really pretty again, and maybe don't run it after the first rain after being dry forever- let it get flushed through a bit.<br /><br />From my scouting in the agricultural field and hiking up from downstream, the gorge itself looked pretty clear, but I feel like I didn't see 100% of the canyon. I couldn't spot the logjam mentioned above, I did see one in the middle-end of the canyon that looked completely open on the right side, and I did see a log stuck in the middle that looked passable underneath. Another update is that it appears the footbridge mentioned is also completely gone, both sides of the bridge are present but not the bridge itself.<br /><br />I'd love to see this cleaned up and fully runnable, but right now it's a little nasty. It'd go for sure if you had a good crew and made good decisions but I wasn't feeling it. 10/10 day though, very fun adventure-y kind of thing.<br /><br />Pass-underneath-it-log: 45.52662, -122.38178<br />Possible clear-on-the-right logjam: 45.52695, -122.38086<br /><br />And I couldn't see farther down than that, but my highpoint from downriver was at 45.52766, -122.37950, and everything up to there from the absent footbridge looked clear.<br /><br />some very candid photos of the gorge itself from above are here: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPjNAZ-lMQtLlrEk6Gjl1k60tH0PCHQUutBTWgp7kpikQUkpR0S0Yj9Ax0QK5-z5g?key=dEhwNXF0TmtQaDZxcUVmZG52UWxpeEJEMW42QW93<br /><br />Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871384972999487563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155868070311747594.post-53949295947467136312019-09-09T16:01:34.633-07:002019-09-09T16:01:34.633-07:00It's at the end of the gorge, so 1/3 a mile fr...It's at the end of the gorge, so 1/3 a mile from the cul de sac put in or so.
