New Wood on Bailey

[Eric Montagne]

Ran Bailey yesterday, and between Super Max and Deer Creek we came across 2 new trees in the river (at least they are new since the end of last season). One spans the entire river, with about a boats width to pass on the right. Immediately after squeezing through on the right, you encounter the 2nd tree that has fallen parallel to the river....the interesting part here is that there is a sloping rock (slopes toward the tree) that you must go over...and it slides you toward the tree.

I'd be up for clearing some of this out, anyone interested in helping?

Eric, me and a buddy will be up there tomorrow morning, probably around 10:30 put in. We are short on time but could probably have enough time to pull the out the worse of the two.

Hitting West Fork tomorrow....keep an eye out for the wood....It will require a saw to get it out.

Let me know if you are able to do anything. I'm planning on hitting again soon.

There is yet another river wide strainer. This one fell after deer creek and is a must make eddie to portage on river left. At very low water and in a small boat, one may be able to get under the right side, but barely.

If I remember, it was about 1 mile below deer creek.

Yeah, that one was there last year....you can make it under the right side, roll left as you go under.
