Tree Trunk Hazard, Lower Rustic

From Maddog Maddox- there is a massive trunk in the river under low bridge. It is central and can probably be passed on either side.

I confirmed, the bridge just upstream of Dadd Gulch, a.k.a. Stupid Bridge

Currently 48˚F, SUNNY and calm. Light Canadian smoke, not nearly as much as last couple days.
