The following picture happened above the South Montesano boat launch and before the lower Pump house.

It must have happened Saturday afternoon.....person must have been running up the river, on the West side. There is a high bank, on the West side of the river, this bank has been washing away for many years BUT the past 5 lots of the bank and buildings have washed away.

The well casing used to be approximately 50 feet from the edge of the river.....at present time the well casing is 10-15 from the edge of the bank.




I hope the person or persons are ok, did hear that someone was taken to the hospital.

I saw the boat, up close........could have been worse. This area is bad, not just because of the well casing but because of a couple of gravel bars. Have seen many boats struck on the bars.....one big inboard had to wait for the tide.....4 hour wait.

NO rain, Chehalis is very low.....what looks like deep water, is not!!!

Be safe.......
