St. Joe, N. Fork

We had a nice run May 6, 2023 from Telichpah Campground to Avery at 4' on the Avery bridge gauge and about 13k on the St Joe gauge. I scouted the run by biking the road on river left, then my wife picked me up in Avery. We left a bike in the woods down there, then drove back up to the campground and did the run. We did it that way because we didn't know the run and there were not a lot of eddies at that flow so we had worries about coming around a corner and being forced to deal with something unpleasant, but I was able to see nearly all of the run from that gated road on river left. In hindsite it was a great flow with lots of class II-III wave trains and there would be no reason not to run it higher if you were familiar with the run or at least the current wood situation. There was one notable hole that can be viewed just after passing through the first tunnel while driving upstream during the shuttle. We were able avoid to the meat of the hole by getting right of it. Other than the tunnel hole, the rapid at the beginning, adjacent to the campground, is probably the next most notable rapid (class III at 4'), and the whole river was read and run (the tunnel hole might be a surprise though), and was easiest on the inside of most corners or in the center of the river. There wasn't any problematic wood while we were there.
