Above Death By Dismemberment Bridge (DBD, Decapitation) in Lower Rustic there is a large log submerged on a rock. I don’t know how long it’s been there. I did not see it on our run Saturday, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. Apparently it has been flipping boats.

With all of this rain and higher flows, be on the constant look out for new debris!
Happy Boating!
Wow we got some rain yesterday! Rainfall overcame the typical diurnal cycle of peak flows around 0500. We went from a morning report of 3.8 to an afternoon that saw the water go over 4.5! In the last couple days we have had over 2″ of rain in Poudre Park, with the bulk of that yesterday.
Currently 54˚F, overcast and damp.
