The tree across the river has been cut and the river right passage is clear. The root ball is now
100 feet down stream but did not present a problem.

The strainer discussed in the previous comment is across the large rock that forms the entrance to
Washing Machine rapid. The root ball essentially blocks the river right line around the rock. A
portage on river left is the safest alternative.

Caution, there is a tree across the river about 100 yds past the Grunch ledge. The root ball is in
the river right line (Bad looking strainer) around the rock and the top is across the left line
around the rock.

Ran this section @ 160cfs on 2-8-09 & had no issues finding enough water to get down w/o paint
loss. Great level for teaching & practicing water reading! M. Miller
