Stephen further says:
Hazards: The first Major Rapid looks innocuous from upstream, but scouting reveals a downed tree toward the bottom jammed into an undercut that blocks most of the creek and would likely be terminal if blundered into. We'll probably try to remove it this summer (NOT the undercut).

Daddy's was 1000 and rising. The creek was dropping and looked like it had been much higher earlier
in the day. This 'medium low' level was perfect - not too shallow on slides but we could stop and
'wheel-chair' up to drops and walk around at water level. The end of the 'log in the sieve' was
just above the surface and with just a few side-channel/sneaks we found routes to run whole way
down. Would not be fun much lower due to braided channels and sieves that filled in. Probably
runnable often when Caney Fork is on the way UP and the rain was very recent. There are 4 trees in
rapids we ducked, but with a little work this run will be a great little addition to the region
that I'll come back to again. Cut a few deadfalls, add a bit more water, and it's a solid mile of
class 3-5 plateau creeking into a big water romp down the Caney Fork. CW
