Sweet - thanks. I was just about to ask for a Cupdate.
Anyone have a chance to crank out a lap or two and scope the wood situation?

I just hiked down to the bottom of Fearsome foursome and it looks all clean. Not sure about lower though.

Okay, I just finished my scout rest the way down the road but the sides of the river have snow and I didn't have proper shoes on to hike by the river.
Anyway, from what I can see, the river looks to be clear of wood, the entire run looks clean.

Been looking at this run for a while waiting for it to come in. Haven't been on it yet and want to get some before I move east. Any vets out there want to style it before my eyes?

RIGHT NOW it's at a perfect easiest level. I could be talked into running it this afternoon if we could form a group.

Normally I could rally and be in the water at a moments notice, but this week is hell week for me. Finals and moving out before Friday. After noon on Friday I am as free as can be for the next two weeks. Then Montreal.
Thanks for the thought though dave, we can make it happen soon.

I could rally after work on Friday too. That is, if the levels stay in the 475 or lower zone. Any higher and it leaves my comfort zone.

Looks like FITW is blown out for a while. I would rate it class V at these levels and higher.

Cupdate for Sat June 2, approx 2pm:
Cup rock is completely submerged and barely visible beneath a frothy blanket of jade water.
FITW Proper is fat and fluffy, reverberating with a thunderous roar.
In other words, its quite high.

At 10 am this morning, the down stream side of the cup rock was a few inches above the water.
Couple groups got multiple laps and the run is in a great shape. Nicely padded!

Yo- can we chill out on the HUGE PHOTOS? I mean, photos are good beta, don't get me wrong, but some of us cowboys are gettin on this here internets using a smart phone in, say, Cle Elum, yo.
Smaller file sizes or some compression would be greatly appreciated so these pages can load all right. But then again, fu*k it. Homeless Hairy don't need no internets to be scoopin freshies on the whitewater goods- all he needs is a van, a bike, and bottle of the Arrogant B!
Anyway, headed up there to give yall a cupdate. If I like what's in the cup I may rally it up.

Ahhh... The fresh scent of pine boughs!
And now for your Monday Evening Cupdate:
Definitely on the higher end of the scale. The cup over runneth. The downstream peak of rock is an island, and the upstream skinny ridge of rock is mostly submerged, with only a tiny knob breaking the surface.
Medium High to High, depending on who you ask.
Of note is a small cylinder of wood pinned against the right wall just downstream of the fan rock in the first drop of the FF. Yeah- just before you get to the typewriter wave at the top of 2nd FF drop. Its in play, although not much of a hazard at this flow. If it hangs out when the water drops, it could be an issue. Looks to be about 4-6" diameter and aproximately a boat length long, or slightly less. Most of it is buried in the pillow on R. Right.
Those logs in the Island Drop have shuffled nicely out of the way as Tiziak's photo reveals. The way the boulders are configured in there tends to send long logs to the left.
Current Weather Conditions:
Mild temps, foggy. Barely perceptible sprinkles precipitate.
And that is The Monday Evening Cupdate for June 4th, at 8:20pm

That log that you speak of has a rope on it anchoring it to the right wall and has been there since last year when we were running it. Maybe at lower water we might just saw that thing up and pull it out this year.
And I really don't understand the cup date??? if the rock is showing or not showing go run the damn thing !!!! On sunday the cup was almost full @ 750-800 and all three of us thought more water would be fun. Its a descent reference.....but its still fun at 200cfs
