A Low Water Run

We made a very low water run and still found the river navigable without bumping many rocks. Even some rafts wiggled their way down the river. The hurricane certainly changed the river, but its similar in terms of whitewater and offers a mix of scenery that looks natural and also scenery that is pure-Helene. At this flow the waves and holes were very small, and the run was mostly a scenery trip with some technical moves.
