Middle Fork Snoqualmie River: Taylor River to Concrete Bridge

We put in right before the bridge at the Taylor River.  From Taylor River down to River Bend the class II+ drops were fairly continuous and reading the river to find a way down the cobble ramps in this low water very difficult.  After River Bend the river mellowed considerably. From Russian Butte to Concrete Bridge  was class I with intermittent class II drops.  There were no unavoidable strainers.  We had one mandatory portage across a cobble bar due to the low water conditions, but some paddlers got out and lined their boats numerous times.  We all scraped our boats countless times and everyone got hung up to a complete stop at least a couple times.  I would not run this route again under 800 CFS.
