3000 Alberts is a mandatory scout due to a large river-wide hole. At high water, everything is
pretty continuous with big random holes and waves, except for Big rocks, which washes out on the

popular playspot is between Big Rocks and Souse, called Sleeping beauty. It plays better river
right of the stack... Edit
