Cowpasture

Ran the section from Griffith Rd down to James River takeout at 220 at about 700CFS. At this level there is minimal scraping, fairly steady current and beautiful scenery. About 2 miles in there is a significant Class II+ on the left .. read and run. About 5 miles in you get to the Sharon put-in/takeout .. a highly recommended lunch stop. Its not until about 2/3 the way down that you start seeing some summer/fishing cabins along the river bank for about a mile or so. Towards the last mile, the Jackson enters on the right, slightly degrading the water quality (and smell). With fairly steady paddling and a 30 minute lunch break, we finished this trip in just over 4 hours.
