As noted in previous comments, there are two spots to look out for, both visible on the drive upstream (and in the gallery). The first is a class III rapid under the second pedestrian bridge, with the best route on the right side. The second is an undercut cliff on the right, with a hole next to the undercut, runnable on the far left. Strainers can be a problem due to the swift current -- in many places it's difficult to find an eddy. We ran about 6 miles down to where the road turns to gravel. Hendricks was 5.0 feet (4800 cfs), and 3.8 feet at Job which is a much better gauge for this section: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/03063550.
