Having paddled Cook Creek to the reservoir a few times, I was curious about Quentin Creek to Cook Creek, a 1.1 mile section which includes Food For Thought, a class five at normal flow. So, Sunday afternoon, 5/18, I paddled it at extremely low water. There is a substantial collection of wood just above Cook Creek and probably six to eight logs disbursed along the mile. But Food For Thought is clear and that entire section is just beautiful. It starts with a massive boulder river left, which is a big undercut at normal flow. That's followed immediately by a long slide, a somewhat less formidable Better Than, which terminates at an 8' ledge drop onto a boulder pile. I portaged that because at the low flow there wasn't enough pillow to run it.

I made a short video focusing on Food For Thought. I would like to go back with a bit more water.
