We had a good group of different craft types: kayaks, packrafts, and a cataraft with the water slowly rising with rain comng down. We took a look at the wood at Whirpool on the drive up.
With flows over 4000 and rising two of us ran the right line at Whirpool and were able to get around the right side of the massive log that extends out from the left bank and partially blocks the right channel. Others scouted and elected to run the left side which had enough water to get down.
