No $hit!......not to mention much of the gravel bar you used to be able to drive down to(pre-locked gates) to launch the boat is gone.

Some years back I made a drive in at O-dark-thirty with boat in tow. There was that last little section of muddy ruts through the trees before you popped out on the gravel bar. I'm poking along and just as The road comes out of the trees all I see is air in front of me...WTF?? The bank had cut away and was about a 6 foot drop straight down to the river. Holy crap!!! I was about 2 feet from launching truck and boat over the edge. Good times backing out of there let me tell you.

Needless to say, that was the end of launching at Rainier Bar.
