Nostalgia

After a big pool, you reach a junky drop.  Avoid the temptation to hit a boof at the top of this rapid on the right. There are several horrible sieves on the right side waiting below you if you blow it and some ugly rocks all around the boof rock. Run left of center down a jumble, or make an S-turn from center to left.

Afterwards, there is one more noteworthy rapid that collects wood before the take out. the right line is fairly simple and leads up to a shallow 4 foot boof. The left line requires you to punch a hole and angle right to avoid a big sieve on the left bank. Historically there was another rapid called Tightness just before the confluence. Instead, you will see an ugly truck sized boulder perched midstream reminding you of the shifty nature of this riverbed

Yuck! well that concludes the Upper Blackwater. Eddy out right at the North Fork,  hike out and run the Upper again, or continue on down the Lower B to Hendricks.
