Ran it today (at 58cfs according to AW & the North River gauge near Stokesville) from the Rt. pulloff to the takeout at Rawley Springs bridge. This was a fun level to be on the river. After having a blast, we went on past the bridge based on advice from a local resident (apparently somewhat inaccurate advice). What we expected to be a rock garden area turned out to be a river-wide logjam we had to boof, followed by a massive hole in front of a boulder river-right. All of that was fun (although the log may or may not have been more of a strainer than a boof at lower levels).
The real hazard was the barbed wire stretched across the river shortly after exiting the hole (hung about 1 foot above the water river-left and about 2 feet river-right). No one was hurt, and we laughed about it afterwards, but be very wary of that stretch of barbed wire if you choose to move on past the bridge.
