Nate checking out the new log in Lower Zig Zag Canyon.
*from here it looks like there might be a way through.....

*looking worse...

Vertical log in mid-current and a river wide piece on the upstream side of that.....
*not an option....

This pile of wood is directly behind the big fan rock in the middle of Lower Zig Zag Canyon. I took a new rope in today and replaced the old one so that the portage is doable, however the rope hangs off a 15 foot slope into a verticle 30 feet down to the water, if you have any kind of rappel device you might want to bring it with you. Please stay in the canyon as much as possible, everything else is Private Land. We are lucky enough to be able to scout upper and lower Zig Zag because we are confined in the gorge. Upper was good to go today and the portage on river left at Lower Zig Zag is the way around. Lower flows are going to expose the horizontal log more and more...

Keel Brightman going down.
*just down from this boat is the vertical hang.


The back side of the infamous cave in the river left wall of Lower Zig Zag.
*the front side of this cave is just downstream of the new logs.

Thanks to Alex Pinchot and Dan Anderson for
spotting the log and Brandon Backman for passing the word quickly!
