No significant changes to speak of with regard to the rapids themselves (several minor changes including the demise of GloryBoof II just below Little Miss Sunshine ... spill some beer for the dearly departed.) ... however there are 2 dangerous logs in the normal lines of two rapids:

1. Hole In the Wall -- main ledge is clean & runnable wherever you want .. BUT, stay LEFT of the divider rock in the run-out after the main ledge. Take the CENTER SLOT & avoid the river-right / main flow channel. Theres a large submerged log spanning the channel & wedged into the eddy room on the right. The log is pretty much invisible from above/scout. If you find yourself blowing the center line, best bet would be to go hard right into the eddy room & from there it looks like you might be able to make it over the log on the far right. Lower flows will make the center line even more mandatory ... Not a big deal to hit the line, just don't blow it.

2. Garbage -- big piece of wood extending from the river-left bank just below the boof, all the way into the center of the rapid where all the upstream channels consolidate into the seam. Best advice is to avoid the river-left / main line which puts you right into the log .. & go for either one of 2 manky lines, 1 of which is far river-right & very manky, & the other of which is just left of a big square rock which sits right of center in the rapid & is less manky, but still manky.

I'll prolly put some pics up on TRL tonight or over the weekend.

I tossed the wood up on the river page. Someone yank it down if it cleans up.

I might be getting out on the river tomorrow... Well the green but hey I need to warm up slow.

Plus I heard...

Thanks for the beta. 

So this sounds like new wood in Hole in the Wall besides what was in there before?
