Ran this on 5/9/16 @1550 CFS. Fun rolling wave trains during the first few miles. At Somerset, the action picks up. A few piles of rock, and encroachment of industry, have created some excellent III+ whitewater. After Somerset, the pace cools down again. If you have scouted your takeout during the shuttle, avoiding the rock weir is no problem.
