Great run from below Gatekeeper rapid to Three C Rock campground on the South Umpqua.  The Booty Call rapid is full of big logs.

At 1,600 cfs this section was 'low, but definitely runnable. We had to hump down some shallow gravel bars and class II in the first few miles but there was plenty of water for the actual rapids'.
