RMA Poudre Rock Report

John reports that he dislodged the log below the green bridge boof – it is now pinned on a rock 15-20 ft down from the drop on river left in the center of the river below where the boof was on river left. It extends at a 45 degree angle or so to the river left shore line. It does dip below water so you can run the left side as several of us did, but it would be very easy to screw up and have a bad day.

Prepare for a HOT weekend. Stay cool and hydrated.
