Location: 1/2 mile below Low/Stupid Bridge (Hwy 14 between Dadd Gulch and Indian Meadows)
Update from Bruce Becker: Was able to cut a 10-12 foot opening river right. Easy for kayaks, OK for rafts although there is a rock peeping above water just upstream and center of the new opening. Trimmed branches from the remaining section and dropped it down so it will move sooner and be more manageable when we see where it ends up.
Thanks Bruce!
As far as I know, the Strainer is still there. It is a River- Wide Huge Ponderosa exactly 1/2 mile below Low/Stupid Bridge (Hwy 14 between Dadd Gulch and Indian Meadows). It is impassable.
