We ran the Mill / Clarendon Gorge 3/9/24. Previous high water events have changed some of the river features.  The very first lead-in rapid is a little different, but no more difficult than it used to be. Also, the second to last feature in the lower gorge, there used to be a large flake rock that created a hole on river right. This flake cantilevered on a smaller rock, and has now collapsed reducing the size and power of the hole. Lines on the right now have fewer consequences, but there is a large tree on river right just below the drop that one of our crew got tangled up with. It's best to scout this one on river left just to eyeball a line.

The 2100cfs level (Otter Creek gauge) we had made for a perfect medium level.
