Beaner, the Hoh river is a great drift. Especially in the upper section above Morgan's Crossing. I think that you would do fine. There is a few tricky sections just before you head into the canyon and a few spots just below the canyon just above Oxbow launch. If you pay really close attention to what you are doing and maybe get out of the boat to look at a few sections you should do fine. The lower river is not so bad at all, just give yourself plenty of time to pick you path. Good luck!
