Ran Elephant Buttresses yesterday--a little low, but no problems until the entrance into the playpark--the 6-foot drop into the big pool above the park. The city had a piece of machinery moving rocks around there and dredging this winter. The pool is great; the drop sucks: they've designed in an exciting new pin rock in the middle of the drop--about a 60-70 degree rock in the dead center of rapid that gives a neat rooster tail. If you hit it right, no problem (don't dig in with the bow). I worry about someone hitting it poorly. Go left and there's a nasty new sharp rock to land on (found it: cracked the hull of my old Big Gun); go right and there's another rock. Maybe it's another City of Boulder ruse to keep folks out of town
In any event, be careful. I can't believe the city is letting the drop sit like that. Some tuber (or some unfortunate kayaker) is going to get it in that feature this summer if it isn't fixed...
