4 hours on water, did 17 portages. Would not recommend. (a haiku)

The details: We put in at Silver Springs Campground and took out at USFS 73 for a total of 9-ish miles. Keep a sharp eye because you will be portaging and it can get sketchy. These log jams are no joke and cannot be passed on water (although we also paddled around and under several logs). Seriously, we were hiking our boats through the woods at some spots and my drysuit and packraft both took a beating. There were pretty continuous read and run rapids throughout the day with many shallow gravel bars and much rock dodging. We are no strangers to portaging or type II fun, but honestly wouldn't do this again (if we did we would plan on fewer river miles). Now we know!
