Upper Canyon & Lower Big South Wood Update

July 25, 2011 By frenchy

Joe Wright: Medium-High
Big South: High (top line on the rock). Long draw road is still closed.
Spencer Heights: Medium-High (2.75-3ft on the new Spencer Heights gauge)

Joe Wright Creek Update
As Marty mentioned in his earlier post, Carnito Canyon has changed. The old flake boof move is history, and at this weekend’s levels the rapid is generally more challenging. See photos below for a visual.

Big South Wood Update
1) Heads up for wood around the second bend after Double Trouble – we snuck it far right without issues
2) Stay left after Pin Cushion to avoid the barely submerged log. At this weekend’s flow the log was 3″ under water and is sure to come into play as levels drop.
3) As always, watch for random wood placement as flows drop
