Not much of an eddy at the take out by the hatchery. Scout take out when leaving exit vehicle. Lots of wood below the hatchery so no point in continuing further.
Likely wood hazards and blind corners. Send leader scout ahead above blind corners.
If conditions are unfavorable we may pivot to Calawah or the Hoh.
Details to follow by email.
