Just a good reminder that schit happens fast on a river, and it's not always good schit that happens.

Fish on...

Nothing a mandatory boaters safety course wouldn't have prevented.

Dude a boater cert card does absolutely nothing for stupidity and risky chance taking, and does very little for understanding how to run a river anyways.

Wow swifty that pic doesn't even do it justice.

I hope they put up 300' of silt fence on both sides of the river, had to fill the machines with vegetable oil, and needed to file a spill prevention plan.

Almost typical they did it during the wild fish run.

I can see the stationary orange vests from here.
Not a one moving.
Probably looks like someone lost a contact.
Everyone standing around.

The problem isn't over spending.
The problem is doing nothing with the money they over spend.

Cool story, bro wink

They drove up with a crane, reached down off the bridge, and cabled it right up. Zero to hero in about five minutes.

Fish on...

This isn't too far off the truth. On wendsday I watched DOT show up with an excavator and about 8 people. One operator working and the rest stood around for about an hour while he proceed to try and spin the log to free it from the pillar. Total waste of money and resources and its all on video. Needless to say, they gave up and came back about an hour later with a section of cable with what looked to be some grapple deal on it and proceeded to try that method, EPIC FAIL once again. So, im glad to see they got it out Thursday with a crane, but it has been there since early December, so that was long overdue and it took them 7 circle jerkers and an operator 3 attempts to get it done, wasting 3 times the amount of money it would have took to do it right the first time, let alone sending 8 guys to do a 2 or 3 man job. Complete bullsh!t!

Probably just would have been easier for everyone to row around it...it's not like it was a secret that it was there.

At least it's gone now.

Fish on...

I was at the Hungry Bear on Saturday.

I ate there.

Talked quite awhile with Gary.

Nice guy.

Then I left.

The end.

Cold, rained all day...except for when it was hailing.

Fish on...
