We ran this for the first time this week. 2 one man 10ft pontoons and a 2 man 12 footer. River is starting to get low and lots of rocks showing but still fairly easy to pick a good line. We did not stop to scout at all and one of our guys picked a bad route left of the second island. Way to skinny and lots of wood. He needed help getting out of that but no harm done. There were a few stucks on shallow rocks with poor choice of line, but self recovery was easy. Still really fun at this level especially the top couple miles which have nonstop action. No significant hazards and the car is still there.
