Ran this tandem 8/7/2021 from above McCoy Falls to Pembroke at 2.6 ft on the Radford Gauge. McCoy Falls is a II to II+ at that level. I think the right up undersells the rest of the trip. There are pretty regular class I to II ledge style rapids between McCoy Falls and Eggleston and the scenery is lovely. Really no long flat stretches on that piece of the run. Maybe a drag in a whitewater kayak, but delightful in OC2.

We got out of school for snow so we had to do something fun.

At levles over 3.5 the upper playhole is very fast and fun.
The large boulder on river left at McCoy falls is commonly called 'frat boy rock' because of all the drunken frat boys from area colleges that are always jumping off of it when the weather is hot. Here Mike D runs just to the right of Frat Boy Rock
