Escanaba, E.Br.

River was a blast! Took out the whitewater boat I bought used last fall for the first time on this run. Previously, I ran this in my 14 ft touring boat at flows around 18 cfs, very boney, slow going. The melt really livened things up, creating a ton of interesting features without getting overly pushy or overwhelming for someone brand new to whitewater. Canyon rapid (both sides) and the 3rd drop in were portaged this time around, though next time I would do the 3rd drop. Canyon rapid is a bit constricted and shallow for me to think you should be running it without class 3+ skills.
