Cosumnes

Ran 49 to Latrobe, and what a wonderful section of river. Fun and continuous solid class IV (at 1300 CFS) followed by a really pretty portage. Yes, there's a bit of a flatwater paddle out and the rapid intensity does taper as the run goes on, but the class IV at the beginning certainly makes it worth it.

As far as logistics go, we put in on the north fork of the Cosumnes, about 1/2 mile north of the confluence of the north and middle fork Cosumnes, just north of the trailer park. There's a pullout with a sign for 'Nashville' on the northbound side of 49 that was not signed. From here it's a short walk to the north fork, which is brushy class I-II. We then floated down to the confluence where the IV starts. For takeout, we parked a car past the no parking signs on the northbound side of Latrobe, south of the bridge. One person retrieved the vehicle then drove it to the north side of the Latrobe bridge, where there was a wide shoulder to load and stage. Slight pain of logistics, but what a beautiful and fun run.
