just an Idea here. maybe you guys with some time off mid week (jealous, yes..) could take a bow saw (or maybe battery powered saw-zall) with you tomorrow and cut that wood out of garbage, flow permitting of course. I already made some progress but the flows were to high @ 5.2-3 to cut it out due to water going over the log. I believe anything under 5.1 would work. I will try again this weekend if flows allow, but if the predictors right then it probably wont happen.

So you know, if you tie a rope around the river left side that big ass tree that spans the river overhead, you can quickly body rappel down to the log where there is good footing. i would suggest at least 2 people work on it cause 1 dude is going to get tired fast.

good luck and thanks ahead of time!
