Comments
The River Chutes, just downstream from Temple Fork naturally avalanched into the river hitting a couple nice cutthroat holes. Periods of heavy rain saturated the already wet snow at lower elevations and made it rather unstable...
Cooling tonight and tomorrow should help set up the sloppy mess.
