Author: turtlepowerSubject: CC Stilly wood situation?Posted: 05 Nov 2015 at 10:45amYup update has been posted, run is clean and good to go. There may be a small piece of wood on double drop but that is uncertain as all I noticed was a small sapling sticking out of the water near the left wall in the right channel and at any rate didn't pose a threat or concern.
