   Topic: Canyon Creek Lewis logjam gone
Posted: 19 Jan 2011 at 11:17am |
Yup thats the word down here too. Heres a post from the bubgee bridge owners
I'm again amazed by the power of running water, the log jam at Terminator Rapid on Canyon Creek is no more..... Hurray!!!
I honestly thought I would never see Terminator again in my life time, but..... mother nature is a fickle lady and she decided that it was time to move those logs off my beautiful stretch of river. Now the bungee jumpers and the Canopy tour zippers can sail over the beautiful Canyon Creek's majestic, sparkling waters once again
The log jam came in on January 9, 2009 and left us on January 16, 2011. What an amazing demonstration once again of the power of moving water.
-- Cheers, ~kc~

I need to go look at Lake Merwin, with all that wood blown out to it, I bet it looks like an old saw mill holding pond

came in here to note that Slickhorn's post count just happens to be 666 when he announced this tremendous event. Coincidence? I think not.

Luke has mentioned that the Canyon Creek Race is back on, pending everything downstream being clear! Excited to have this classic run available again!

I'm glad that I got to run it when the Jam was still there, that was a cool piece of woody debris.

We ran it new year's eve as the water was rising immediately before the tragedy. Haven't been down there since. I guess I was in denial and didn't want to see it for myself. Now I can go back and pretend like it never happened. Sweet!!

I'm going to wait to get excited until someone checks out the whole run. It's hard to imagine all of that debris moving downstream and not plugging up other drops. It's amazing that sh*t pile moved in the first place though.

Probably has distributed itself evenly over the whole run.

with as much flow as had to be going through there when the logjam blew out, any wood left behind is more likely to be deposited high on the banks where eddies formed than it is in the actual riverbed. There are no guarantees, but hopefully the wood is up near the treeline or floating around the lake.

nobody thought that jam would ever blow out. just goes to show you, even though kayakers have a healthier respect than most for the power of water, even we can't really fathom the seemingly infinite force of water at it's most raging...

glad I got to see the logjam. one of the most impressive I've ever seen.
I bet CC gonna be a destination for lots of boaters in the weeks to come, huh?
I echo the hopes for the Clear Fork Cowlitz. Been waiting for that one...

Johnson Creek.... I really wonder about that one, I doubt that one is going anywhere, but the last time I was there was in 2003... http://cascadeclassics.org/Kayaking/Johnson/Winter03/Johnson_Winter03.htmBiggest logjam I've ever seen or heard of. Somebody go check! Make sure to boof gutterball though, it's shallow

Was that from the 2008 race? What a fun weekend...70 degrees and sunny, good party, perfect flows on CC, Copper Creek came in on Sunday.
Glad to hear the run is clear!
