Tricky takeout at Thorp Highway Bridge

Ran this at 3625 CFS. Easy trip except the takeout at the Thorp Highway Bridge. This is a tricky and narrow takeout on river R underneath the green bridge. The current is strong and the eddy is easy to miss if you don't time it right. Hug the R bank as you approach and paddle hard until you're sure you are in the eddy.
If you miss it, be sure to stay on river R. About 50 yards downstream on the R, there is a bank with a path back to the parking lot.
