Today we found 7 peices of large debris.
All will be reasonably easy to remove from the river except the 6th one which is a
very heavy and large DNR deck structure from the Castle. It is a double thick structure
with rounded fence posts for internal supports and has heavy metal brackets on the corners.
There are no major debris pieces below the Chapel.
