One on the left channel at the put-in dam and one at the bottom of the first drop of Bedhead (this is a big one and would be a real problem at any flow)

The Upper (Putting in at the Whitcomb Island Road Bridge) and Lower (Into town) sections of the Gihon both have some new wood. There is a tree with lots of sharp broken limbs across the entire river right channel of a rapid in the upper section. Not sure of the name of that rapid but it is split into two main channels divided by large rocks. This tree is particularly hazardous as it sits right at water level and wasn't obvious until we were pretty close.

Also, the right side of the rapid below Bed Head has a big chunk of tree obstructing most of the ramp there. Make sure you are scouting effectively as both of these logs are located in lines that we almost ran.
