Photo is of a channel-spanning log on the EF Hood River.  This type of position increases risk to boaters.
	However, there was a sizeable pool upstream pool and plenty of space to portage on the right bank which 9 of 10 boaters did without much trouble.
	On this particular trip, one of the less-experienced members missed the eddy upstream and ended up flipping on the log and washed underneath.
	He and his boat were recovered unharmed.
