They removed the drift boat from the rocks yesterday. After several attempts this last month, they hired a crane to pull it out.
Glad I'm not footing that bill. The boat looked surprisingly damaged only a little.
The raft can be more forgiving, but there is the danger of being wrapped under the raft.
Driftboats were invented for PNW rivers. Neither are good if pinned under them.
Yes, that is First St Bridge. The angle in the picture makes it look narrower than it is. Even the runnable chute is just wide enough.
That drift can be very intimidating. Spencer's Hole Still gives me butterflies even after 29 years here.
