Low water pin spot

Just before you get to Butcher Block (so within the first half mile of the run) there is a hazardous pin rock in the right line of an otherwise non-descript smaller rapid. Level was around 1.1 feet on the take-out gauge. It probably doesn't take a lot more water than that to put it completely underwater. We got a boat badly pinned there, requiring a 3:1 z-drag to remove. Stay left of center to avoid.

(Note: there is an emergency walkout road to the put-in just below this rock on river left. We didn't have to use it, but you can see where it is.)
