Description

Not difficult at all, but it often has a tree in the middle. There is a giant rock in the middle of the river, start on the right then go all the way
across to the left, do a U Turn around the big rock and go all the way back to the right. Behind the rock is where wood ends up, you can scout it from river left or right to check.

After this there really isn't much to the bridge.
