San Joaquin
4. Patterson Bend (Kerckhoff Reservoir to Kerchoff #1 PH)
This view shows the three main features. The tongue leading into a folding, collapsing, exploding chaos, but through to a relatively safe left side route. A huge hump in the middle backed by a collapsing wave. In the bottom center of the rapid, can be seen the top of a boulder forming a huge hole. There appear to be routes on either side, but the left side appears wider.
