Is there anyone who has seen it in person that can add some deets to the river alerts for that run? From the few random comments I've heard, it sounds like it could be a pretty significant hazard, and with as many folks as there are who hit up that run to learn the ropes, it seems like it would be good to do what we can to make sure that everyone is aware of it.

The beach where everyone usually pulls into (river right, just below House Rock), is now completely full of wood. Big wood.
The hazard is that there's one log sticking out from the pile that stretches about 1/4 of the way into the river. At 1k this log is about head height. At 4500 it's just below the surface. If you're on line and heading down the center it's not an issue.
If you want to eddy out I'd advise going behind the big rock on river right, not in front of it like we normally do.

Cool - thanks. Cut and pasted your comments onto the river page as a river alert.
