I will give you all you I can. I will collect what info I can and post it this evening.

Greg a floating bridge was made after that 1 was burned,many wagons fell off of it. The river bottom is bedrock with large cracks.River is about 5 to 7 feet at this time and is cold.Can also be very swift. have thought about taking a drege to it. Also know of a creek that flows through a blown up ammo dump into the river. I bet it has items by the pound where they meet.
