Ran 5/11/2014 for Mother's Day with my wife and 7 and 10 year old kids. ~320cfs and 2.1' on Rockbridge Baths gauge. Tandem canoe (me plus a kid), solo (wife) and sit-on-top kayak (kid, with regular changeouts). Post office to Copper Road.
A little scrapey in 3-4 spots in the tandem canoe, ample water for the solo canoe and sit-on-top. Some fun waves and nice long Class II rapids. It was a wonderful family run. I had to bail a bit from the tandem after a couple of the rapids from some waves.
I'd estimate my minimum for this run would be about 200 cfs on Rockbridge Baths gauge. We will definitely come back to this stretch.
This section should really be broken on American Whitewater, and would be better linked to the Rockbridge Baths gauge also.
