Pine View is .8 at 1030 this morning. It’s currently 55.3F, sunny and breezy. For more info on the dangerous logs, see below.
Pine View Disney Rock log- rumor has it an anonymous group of private boaters (unaffiliated with any organization) worked on it a few hours yesterday and dislodged it. That hazard has been mitigated.
Mad Dog- don’t know what happened to this log, but I took a run down FP yesterday with a group of anonymous private boaters and the log is gone. Happy and Safe boating!

The water line was just barely below the orange stripe!

Welcome Boaters and River Enthousiasts, Camp Falbo is back with Rock Report and two “Danger” warnings. The Pine View Rock report for this morning is 0.85 at 0700 this morning. Up from 0.75 at 1900 last night, but I did get a report of 0.9 yesterday morning. Today’s forcast is calling for a high of 73F, partly cloudy and windy. I have seen kayaks on the wather the last two days!
Danger Report:
There are strainers spotted in two named rapids the last few days: one on Disney Rock in Pine View and the other in Mad Dog.
The Disney Rock log was reported to be at a 45 degree angle pointing upstream right against the rock. Last night, Dave Dennis and I scouted the rapid and found the log mostly submerged, but still present right up against the rock at a 70 degree angle pointing upstream. You will not be able so see this log from river level heading down and presents a significant hazard.
The Mad Dog strainer was seen blocking the whole river right passage from Pyramid Rock (at top of rapid) all the way to shore. I saw it on Sunday, but could not see it yesterday. So, either the log has migrated downstream (good), or is submerged in place (bad). I suggest you scout both rapids before running them. Take care and be safe

Bridges Run is Open! Yeah! Belfor Environmental officially finished the clean up of the “original” tanker spill yesterday and have re-opened the stretch of river between MM113 & 115- the Bridges Run.
That’s the good news. The bad news, as you have all heard, another tanker dumped it’s wad into our beloved riv on the Filter Plant Run. Fortunately, that spill was quickly contained due to the low flow of the river, geologic features of the crash site, the EPA official witnessing the accident, and Belfor being only 4 miles away and acting quickly. They expect clean-up to be completed by Tue.
What does this mean for river flows through Bridges? The morning of Crash II the water officials released more water for the boaters (I mean the farmers), which they were able to divert through the Monroe Tunnel at the North Poudre Diversion (just below BTO) just in time to avoid a catastrophe at the crash site. I don’t know if they are still flowing all that water, which could potentially help make the Bridges Run boat-able. I would imagine the farmers need the water, still. Either way, the Bridges Run is open for whatever recreation you desire.
Have fun, and Be Safe!
