OK, now I'm really curious. I've been on several sections of the Chehalis River, but not the area where this occurred. Are there really rapids, as in the white water sense? I've launched and been up and downstream of Doty, Porter, Fuller bridge, and Montesano, but the only rapids I've seen or experienced on the Chehalis River were on a canoe trip through the canyon upstream of Pe Ell. BTW, that is a beautiful stretch and so different from the rest of the river - and not recommended for neophytes. And every bit of the river I've seen around Chehalis and Centralia is flat as a pancake. So please tell me more about this "rapid."

Sincerely,
