First Sip of Hemlock

This is the first blind bend to the LEFT where you would have to commit to flow without seeing the next eddy. Grab the big eddy on Left at the top. Scout this easy corner for class 5 wood hazards. Up to this point parties will likely have boat scouted everything and hopped around a couple riverwide logs.  Beware: the wood will intensify from here on out. Also make a mental note that there will be a hidden sieve about 2 features downstream in the left line of a big cascade. Favor the right lines which were also the wood free lines on the first decent day.
