Gauge Reading350 cfs at Fall Creek-1. Etna to Forest Home

Put in at Etna at 3:30 pm, finished at Japes Lodge on Bebe Lake at 5pm or so.

A few low trees, but no major hazards. Big tree still down in flood plain after sand cliffs before Freese Rd.

Freese Rd. section in Varna uncomfortably low, barely passable. Another 6 inches to a foot would have been much better for that section.

Both of us ran the first dam and flatrock. Both walked Broken Dam - the landing looked kind of sketchy to us; might be better at higher flow. One of us ran Lover's Falls twice, the second time portaging up from the bottom to the ledge below the spillover.
