B. Grey, interesting topic.

As a civil engineer by trade and someone who has spent 20 years floating the Hoh and watching the river chip away at highway 101, I can tell you rerouting it with logs where they propose is a practicle alternative to the $40,000,000 cost to reroute the highway. Nevertheless, it is risky. Can you imagine piling logs in front of 20,000 or 30,000 CFS? Talk about playing russian roulet with downstream propery. I wouldn't want to be the engineer that stamps those drawings.

P.S. I'm just pissed that the project will dry up a couple of excellent pieces of holding water. I pull a couple nice nates a year out of there
