This came across my facebook today. I know the pilot that took the picture, looks like a pretty significant log jam between big creek and veil falls. hopefully high water will take care of it.

The jam is about 1/2 mile below Elk Bar. Mile 79.5 in the Whitis and Vinson guide book or 80.1 in the old Forest Service guide.

Yup right at the top of the crystal pool. If high water moves the jam there are still a whole lot of other places for that wood to end up. This will be interesting to keep tabs on.

Damn little snow in that pic!

That is low low low elevation, and we lost much of that a couple of weeks ago.. Have you seen the MFS snotel? Nearly 150%.

Yeah, 160% of average SWE observed at Banner Summit as of 3/8/17:

Who knows, maybe it will all come off in April or May and blast that channel-spanning logjam. It will be an interesting season for sure.

Following it very closely, plus the Clearwater drainage one, as I have a July 10 Selway permit Laura.

Come on snowpack.

the forest service web site is showing a large tree wedged river wide just above dagger as well.

Is it this one. Marsh Creek could be sketchy!

 

[shoptech1]

yes sir! better duck!

I got a feeling a lot of the furniture's going to get rearranged once the water starts to come up...

This jam is apparently now gone or at least not an issue.
