As Steve said, we were able to create an opening on a river-wide log jam between mileposts two and three on the Mahoning down river from Foster Park. How long it will remain open or whether it will be passable when the river level drops is anyone's guess. There really needs to be more work done to create another opening for this jam. Steve worked his tail off with the power saw and moving logs around.
There is a very large tree down, also between mile marker two and three a short distance below the first jam, that is blocking the entire river. It was too big a job to take on the second blockage with the time we had available.
Tom did a great job cutting out a ton of poison ivy at the Rotary Park takeout.
We really could have used more help. The first jam could use a team of four or five to clear other openings.
