Toxic blue-green algae confirmed in Willamette River. Apparently it extends all the way to Sauvie. Probably smart to stay away from Sauvie and Jones this weekend.

Prone paddled through it before I knew what it was and have had no issues so far. Looking into the possibility of the gypsy yachting rafters and their part in the bloom. I was actually pretty cool looking.

Keep your dogs away from the river. The algae bloom is more dangerous to their health.
