Notes

Cold, light wind, rain.
The river is very high. The boat launch is underwater and the current is very swift. A lot of debris floating along the riverbank.

A pile of sand has been been placed in the parking lot of the boat launch which appears to contain road salt. It is leaching directly into the river. A sample has been collected.
