We put in at Lower Bridge and did the the 17 mile run down to Monty Campground. We encountered two channel-spanning logs that came up quick and a few more pieces of wood in play. Use extreme caution as the logs are tricky to spot and require a quick move to get to shore. The first was located at 44.6483, -121.6140 and the second was at 44.6709, -121.5752. Both were portaged relatively easily but required a quick move into a very brushy and poorly-defined eddy above the hazard.
