This was a fun level, requiring some scouting in places where the drops are steep enough to prevent a good boat scout. The culvert has washed up into the right bank below the island just above Upper Loon Rapids. Upper Loon had the most technical and sustained rapid finishing with several drops, some into stout holes, just upstream of the bridge. Took a barely-in sneak line past the old dams at 'Old Hole' behind Gordi's steakhouse and didn't have to carry. Very fun run to teach and practice good scouting!
