Went from the Old Safford Bridge to Bonita Creek 7/9-7/10. We did this trip with a 9.5ft cataraft, 4 Alpacka's and 1 IK. There were a few tight/shallow spots for the cat but overall it  made it through no problem. Trip started out at about 350 - 400cfs but spiked to almost 550 Saturday during an afternoon monsoon storm. There were no strainers to report. There were many sweepers throughout the trip, at higher water some of these could be tricky to navigate.  The warning signs for fences just passed the Subia property are still up but we did not encounter any fences across the river.
