Feather, S. Fork

While a more advanced crew did the whole run, Jordan R. & I followed the instructions of Darin McQuoid (http://darinmcquoid.com/sffeatherL.html) to reach the 3-mile Class III section at the end of this run. Something I'd add, is to leave the Quincy La Porte Road at Google Map location 39.65722789965532, -121.01262924130909, and take the well-maintained fire road. You can head to the take-out and put-in from there. Regarding the put-in, once we got to a closed gate, we left the car and carried the boat down the overgrown trail after the gate, and then at some point, we left the trail and bushwhacked down. But we should have stayed on the overgrown trail much longer until we get 100 yards away from the river. We reunited with the crew running the upper section at our hike-in put-in (by luck), and we all took out at the Diversion Dam. The class III was lovely, even considering the damage of the recent fire, but watch out for wood in the river. Parking at put-in and take-out is tight.
