Trip Report

My wife and I paddled the upper section from 6 mile put in, Sept. 14 at 1.0.

There is a new river-wide downed tree between the ledge and Devil's elbow. From there I thought she didn't mind the back door and I got greedy. It's in a flatwater section but could be a real problem at high levels..........strainer limbs on one end and massive poison ivy vine on the other. I'd take my chances with the strainer..........I'd paddle a class VI with a strainer before I'd get anywhere near poison ivy. River was fairly clear everywhere else. david
