My apologies to Dan.  My little comment above might be relevant if  
this was a little logic exercise with a simple track going in a single  
direction.  I didn't consider that the inevitable switchbacks could  
mean that at the points where NOBOs and SOBOs are advised to turn off  
to a safer crossing point they are not necessarily approaching each  
other in a straight line as if the trail and river formed a simple  
crossroad.  So I'm in no position to give advice.  Do what Dan said,  
I'm just a cyber hiker 7,000 miles away.
