San Joaquin
4. Patterson Bend (Kerckhoff Reservoir to Kerchoff #1 PH)
This was typical of some of the steeper drops, though a number were more congested. We successfully crashed down through this and most others. Such low water boating can be fun if you get used to it and you don't mind pinning and broaching and such. At spill flows of course, this becomes a delightful class 4 rapid.
