A glimpse of civilization can be seen during this section. A pipeline crossing is noticeable here and offers a quick change in scenery. In drier conditions, a sandbar can be seen jutting out from the left side of the river immediately after the two islands, so it is recommended to read the river and choose the best course of action once again.
