We didn't end up running this unfortunately. However, to save you some time here is some updated info on the takeout. When you turn onto Kelley Road, the actual spur road where you park for the takeout is on the left before the 5 way 'intersection' of FS roads mentioned on this page. It is the closest one to the intersection, but still at least .25 miles away, and the only spur road facing due west (according to the compass on my car). Park at the foot of the road and after maybe ¼ of a mile turn right, and then in a little while veer left as the road splits. This takes you to a gully that you can use to get down to river level to scout the takeout. I will update this with longitude and latitude when we go back out there.

Mark Corsentino reports as of April 2005:

Very high quality run. Lot's of drops you can't scout from river level though, but all are very clean, if you pick the right slot. You can scout some from above, but not all. Very tight box canyon in parts. There is one unfortunate and new landslide. Portage the top on river right, and you need to run the second half, which is fine. Short and sweet, similar to Stilly CC with more drops and cleaner water.
