❗️Heads up floaters: There is a hazard log in the Blackfoot River just above Ninemile Prairie FAS (and immediately above the float-in campsite). There is a raft trapped. Fortunately, the floaters were not hurt.

Please stay clear of the log and trapped raft and gear. There is room to float around on river left.

⚠️ Hazards like this could exist anywhere right now, and conditions can change quickly. We have higher flows on many rivers than we've seen in a while, and visible and hidden debris can be dangerous, with the ability to trap boats and people.

🛶 Check conditions before you go, wear your lifejacket, stop and scout ahead, and be prepared to portage around obstacles when needed.

Garnet Day is June 13th, which is one week away.

Jennie, on the left, is the Garnet school teacher we all know and love. She can be strict, but she’s always kind.

Jen, on the right is the person organizing Garnet Day. There’s a lot effort that goes into making Garnet Day happen, and Jen does a great job. If you get a chance, thank her for all her efforts.

In the modern Jen and Jennie are both GPA board members and involved with historic research. Jen is also organizing the Ghost Town License plate grant program and Jennie is leading the highly anticipated ‘STEP BACK IN TIME’ project happening in Garnet in September 12th.
