Escanaba, M.Br.

This seemed to be a pretty good level. The first 3 features (IV) were a bit pushy, but the rest of the river, except Middle Finger, was a bit boney. White City Falls was a class IV at this level. River left was a boiling hole and there was a recirculating eddy on river right. You needed to boof the center and land with a left angle then paddle. Second City had an entrance whole that made it more challenging. Granite Canyon needed a good scout. We walked Middle Finger, there just didn't seem to be a way thru it staying right side up. Half the river was hitting the finger and turning 90 degrees left. Right of the finger the water seemed to be piled up in a pool like it was behind a dam and below the dam was a hole. And we were tired and it was a 30' portage. The 'sweet/semi-gutsy line' described in the Middle Finger description was discussed, but there seemed little room for error.
