Trip Report

Ran Doe today not quite sure of level, I would guess around 500-550ish.. Bear Cage rapid is still a mandatory portage, also the next rapid after bear cage is now a mandatory portage. Portage is easy and quick on river right. It's the rapid where the river bends to the right and the house is sitting on the left of the bend above. Today, at lower water there was some wood visible, but all avoidable. The right line at top of Bodysnatcher has a tree down, but i think you could still squeeze by it if you chose that line. There is one more river wide a ways down on left. Low water was no problem ducking right under. higher levels it could come into play. Great day on the river! will post picture of portage 2 by house soon. Tyler F
