    Yes, thanks for the updates, Zach. Impressive job hauling the sweep up the ramp. “Muscle Town USA” guy had the perfect shirt on for that endeavor.

    The photos just keep getting crazier! Velvet is completely buried by rocks. It’s almost unrecognizable.

    Any reports of blowouts below Velvet? I have an upcoming trip with all packrafters and am wondering about hiking from Boundary Cr to somewhere below Velvet to put in. I haven’t been able to reach the river office yet to confirm the closure details if indeed a formal closure exists. I haven’t seen a closure order posted anywhere.

    There are no reports of blowouts below Velvet but there could be some.

    As I understand it there is a river closure but unfortunately I don’t have the details.
