Dewell's Demise

The second of 3 long distinctive rapids visible from the road. A long bouldery lead in abruptly opens onto bedrock ledges then funnels into a short but steep sluice against the left wall into a long pretty pool. Charge down the tongue on the left and hope you flush or boof as far right as you can. A strong eddy feeds in from river right and tends to keep swimmers and boats in the pour over. Ben D. had a nasty swim here after I inadvertantly signaled him down the middle. I just stuck my paddle up straight to indicate "Come ahead", when I should have signalled either left or right! I have swam there twice, myself. The first time, I had to claw my way past my boat into the main current before I flushed. The second time, I ended up far enough out to the right that I was able to feel a rock under the surface and drag my way out against the current.  
The scout is easy from the road, but more awkward at river level.   Scout and or portage on river right.
