I'm curious, too. I went to check it out Monday. Saw two other rigs heading in at the same time. The new road looked pretty good up to the point where it heads downhill. It didn't look bad there, either, but I noticed a steady stream of runoff (from rain that ended about 24 hours prior) flowing down the left side, and that made me imagine the potential for much worse conditions ahead, so I decided to turn around before getting to any of the areas of concern down below.

One thing I can pass along definitively is that Green Diamond really doesn't want anyone parking down by the bridge. They put up a nice, big sign at the turnoff to the new road, to make sure that's clear. The sign did say it is okay to walk in from that point, which is about .6 miles. If we get a bad report on the road to the new launch, that may be an option for bank anglers, but PLEASE, folks, don't drive down there.

Incidentally, the river was still high, fast, and pretty colored-up. Probably improved yesterday, but more rain will likely put it back out again by the weekend.
