On July 24th of 2006, a powerful rainstorm blew out a tiny creek, dislodging debris and trees, hurtling them down the once crystal clear Middle Fork of the Salmon River, where they completely bottled up popular Pistol Creek rapid.
In July of 2006, a downpour brought dead timber and debris into Idaho's Middle Fork of the Salmon River, completely blocking the famous river at Pistol Creek rapid. Bruce Reichert was with a private party that happened upon the logjam early that morning. He contacted Jeff Tucker, who also worked for Idaho Public Television, and Jeff landed with a video camera at Pistol Creek ranch. John and Janette Crancer also helped shoot and produce this account of how the Forest Service dealt with the logjam.
