Yana dealing with the tree

A few weeks earlier, a woman named Yana contacted WRRR about boating. I offered to take her on an IK trip, but she had to agree to a class III run at a later date (in a previous posting, I noted that I think IKers need to start out on class III in order to really get moving).

We had planned this Friday trip, and the weather and flow cooperated nicely. We only had one minor hazard to deal with: the tree across the river in the picture above. This tree is a lot worse than the photo indicates. Swimming under this tree would be very dangerous, and there's not much room to get around it. It's not clear from the photo, but Yana is actually stuck on a rock just above the tree.
