Potomac, North Fork of South Branch

I ran the canyon 3x times easter weekend 2023 as part of a wvwa gathering. Levels were from 5.4 to 5.2 (lower end flows) .  Landslide rapid has a log  in the channel below where you enter on river left.  Also some rocks have shifted, which make the entrance move of entering left, hitting the micro eddy, and peeling out, more difficult.  The first run I pinned against the log, apparently there is some stuff below the surface as well.  Trying to wiggle off I flipped and swam.  On the 2nd run I was more successful running alongside the log.  The third time we walked.  This spot becomes more difficult as the water drops.

The 'dam' at the end of the trip has a log across the top.  'The crease' was clean and the routes around the main rapid (options on the right as you go around the bend) both went okay in April of 2023.

Just ran this from Seneca to through Hopeville, despite the flood last year no significant changes to the rapid. Little bit of wood on the edges as usual but nothing worrisome

This is the biggest ledge on this trip
The gauge is Cabins at 5.4 or 850 c.f.s.
Also the petersburg gauge was 3.5 or 1200c.f.s.

This is a nice open boat level

RAN IT AT 6.50 AT CABINS ON 5/2/02. GREAT LEVEL!!

Pretty much everything you see here is gone now, including the rapids.

They don't make cars or boats like that anymore.

The flood of 1985 completely wiped out this rapid.
