Trip Report

ReporterBrad Roberts

Conferderate life, double drop, run on the left busting left to right to stay out of the undercut left bank. Good splashy 2/3 below that. Some wood to avoid. Lots of construction going on with new road connecting interstate north to akers mill.

Might make us a new hole under the interstates.

Akers mill rapid is easier than it used to be pre-new bridge. Top of the rapid split by a large boulder. we took the right hand route. Good class 2/3 splashy stuff below. Three good surf spots in the class three range. Water quality still nasty as ever - eyes burning due to fuel in the water. Fun run, shame that its so polluted. Sewage pipe over the river about a quarter mile before the hooch confluence. Pipe is about 4 feet diameter, lots of wood on the upstream side. Pipe can be carried on either side, most pick left.
