Thinking of drifting the upper Hoh?

I was thinking of drifting from the park down. Wondering if there was anyone who has made the trip recently. I have not done it this year but made about six trips last year and it was alright. Any bad jams or problems to watch for. Any help would be good and yes we know how to run the sticks.
I saw a pic of a tree spanning the whole river and heard of some bad jams eating some boats. That type of stuff.

All reports have said that it has changed for the worse. Bob posted recently that there are many potential bad spots. Bad woody spots.
Also, the Oxbow Rapid has changed for the worse. It has been the opinion of every guide who fishes it regularly that it is gonna take down some boats this year...

I took this pic from my helicopter last weekend of the recent changes to the Hoh Oxbow...
You can clearly see the new objective dangers. No wonder folks were being warned!
Be careful out there!

Thats a sweet picture. Thanks a lot. My home river has serval spots that are similar to that. This summer, we got lots of practice is very technical water just like that. But, when in dought walk it.

Some tourist camping at the Oxbow took this pic of us barely missing the big rock at the bottom of the Oxbow. Pic was taken during the last big high water:

 "Ok guys left side... aim for the soft spot behind that rock." I caught a nice one out of that hole that day, side drifting a 17" PW with a 48 shot slinky! (sorry, that's kinda a local secret, I should keep my mouth shut)

When you have twenty Tools in a class at the end of the day, typing away and talking at/to them is often the case. So, mistakes are often made. There is no douBT that some of my students read this thing.
Oh and all I see is the red X for the pic that you posted

During the school year I teach High School AP Calc and Cornerstone (college in the high school classroom) Pre-Calc. Then in the summer I teach college.
OOPS. That is what a day of 120 high school kids will do to ya.
