BOLO- (Message from LCES) There is a missing male in the River from yesterday. Last seen point was in the neighborhood of Tunnel Rapid through Ding Dong. 57 Year old caucasion male, 6’1″, balding. No PFD (and by this point most likely wearing no clothing- so hard to see.) If you find, and the body is in a secure location, please do not approach, just call 911 from nearest phone (Mish, Columbine, PCVFD Station 1) and give accurate location description (remember Emergency Services may not know rapid names, so Hwy 14 MM# and/or known locations such as Ouzel Picnic Area, may be best descriptors). If the body is mobile, and if you can safely approach, please secure him, and then call 911. As always- Please Be Safe.

Currently 77˚F, sunny and still!

NEW LOG ALERT- For those Upper Upper Canyon Floaters. This just in from Mad Dog Maddox: There is a sneaky log (strainer) above bone yard and Kiehl Bridge – river right. Covers 2/3 of the river. (Kiehl Bridge is right below poudre falls. The log is between poudre falls and the bridge.)

Second Note… have we seen peak? Did we top off at 4.5 this year? Or are these 5 days of 80˚plus going to bring down one more peak? Inquiring minds want to know.

Currently 52˚F, Partly sunny.
