Trip Report

ReporterKevin Turner

log jams at beginning of run are clearing out. we had to portage one jam and the second required a limbo maneuver. the emory gauge was running about 13,000 and the run was fun with lots of class 2/3 stuff. just below the bridge there was a great glassy wave to surf with an access eddy on either side of the river. we took out a few miles past the bridge and well before the confluence at one of the public access points so we did not have to deal with any land owner issues.
