Derek Williams writes, in Boater Talk: I think (i wasn't driving) that the Takeout is on 111 just past Dunlap. The putin is at the top of the hill at a pull out on the left. Yesterday it was a somewhat epic hike in down steep grade snowcover rock about 3/4 mile. The run was very continuous in nature after about the 1st half-mile of 2/3 water. After that the gradient picks up and it narrows down for a couple of good miles. Good slotty drops, most 6 - 10 feet. Scout all the blind ones, as there are some trees in bad places. The thermometer was a burly 14 degrees at the putin. There is a gauge painted on the takeout bridge. Yesterday it was at 0'. Of the people that had run it before, they considered this optimum. On a run of 6" Harry said it was a portagefest.

From Ted Hayes via BoaterTalk:<br />
<br />
There are 2 put-in options for L Brush:<br />
<br />
The standard is right on the hwy, where it starts to bend to the right near the top. there's a pull off on the left. nice bush-whack straight down to the creek. <br />
<br />
Above that, go to the top of the mtn (look 4 a church on the right, forgot the name) take a left right after it. there's a cable across the road about half way down. it's a 10 min hike down to the creek. <br />

this is the USGS Sequatchie R. gauge near dunlop, TN. The river flows in below it, i think, but there is a local precipitation gauge on the site. http://waterdata.usgs.gov/tn/nwis/uv?03570835

This should be changed to a IV-V run, as it is it's
<br />
definately the hardest, most dangerous class III-IV
<br />
run I know of. Read Clay's description on AW. I run it
<br />
5 times @ all different levels, and every levels
<br />
represents it own set of changes. There's a long
<br />
rapid, we named Krispy Kreme that that has about four
<br />
holes, with undercuts that have to be punched to get
<br />
to the main drop. Which is about 50 yds long, with a
<br />
sieve on the left. Everyone I have boated with over
<br />
there all liked the run, and will attest that it's got
<br />
some action. I have some video, if you'd like to put
<br />
it on AW, I'll get you a copy.
