South Fork Clackamas logjam is no more!

Sometime in the last week the logjam on the South Fork of the Clackamas was washed away. I, as well as alot of other people have been using the logjam to get across the South Fork to explore the old OC Waterworks that are in the canyon as well as several waterfalls. It will make doing a loop hike almost impossible as many of us have done in the past. I failed to take a photo as I was driving down 224 because it was pouring down rain this afternoon. I did manage to get a morning hike in before the rain started to come down.

That will make things more interesting. I guess the Christian Camp trail will be the ticket in high water.

It would be interesting to see the South Fork series of falls in this weather.

The tweaker tunnel route; is that spur decommed? Across from the first borrow pit.

Yeah, I need to hike that one again someday. I have only been down it once, but it wasn't on my agenda today.

There was alot of water up on the Collawash from what I saw at the viewpoint.

They trenched in about 100 yards or so. It looks like hell, and is a pain to hike through.

How long had the logjam been there? About a week ago we were driving by there and I was thinking that a good heavy rain would wash that natural bridge away.

Speaking of natural bridge, has anyone been able to get a decent photo of the "eye hole" in Big Cliff?
