Alert: Big tree across cowichan river

It's a big cedar, about 3' at the butt, right across the river, about 1.5 km upstream from Skutz. I heard that a drift boat overturned on it Friday, but luckily, the 3 anglers from Victoria are okay. They would have had an uncomfortable hike back to Skutz. Good thing the weather was relatively mild.

It's always wise to phone a local shop or guide service, before you drift that river. Apparently, this cedar has been blocking the river for quite awhile, but out of town anglers wouldn't necessarily know about it.

WEAR your PFD
 
Thanks for that-it's beautiful place to drift and it's all too easy for a person's attention to wander for a few seconds.
