Notes
The site is safe to access. Be careful on the wet cobble rock. The water is surging and is dangerous to enter to take physical characteristics due to the depth in areas- creating fast moving waters. The large boulders pose significant danger, where the water is surging high.
The area had a lot of garbage on location- cans, gloves and condoms. This site could use a cleanup. The buds are blooming. Up river the substrate and left channel has changed. The cobble has been replaced with a clay pan and sand possibly from flooding and erosion. There is an abundance of natural debris restricting flow down the left channel.
