Managed to squeeze in a speed run from Rigo through Golden between classes with todays floods. There's a lot of wood just above waterline on the banks and a few logs perched on rocks. A number of these look like they will probably end up in the river when it gets high, so keep your eyes open.
Specific things to watch for: There is a piece of 4x4 wedged and sticking out from the cliff wall just above the Dam. This one is at an angle that a boat taking the turn too widely could wedge between it and the cliff.
On river right, just above Screaming Quarter proper is a massive tree that appears to have recently fallen. The top and a few branches stick out over the river a few feet. It is easily avoidable and not a big concern right now. The reason I mention it is that it is pretty close to water line and could wash in with more water. If you hit Screaming Quarter and don't see it, PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION: this is a good sized tree with some big limbs and huge root ball. It would be super nasty to encounter this one in the river.
Everything is currently easily visible and avoidable but this could change.
Boat safe. SYOTR.
