stretch of river. Edit
blockage by downed trees in several places and, worse yet, 7 barb wire fences ... some of which you
can't see until you are right on top of them). Stream flow was in the 410 CFS range - multiple
channels - many small rapids. We canoed ... and had two swampings and several near swampings.
Several areas of strong backflow. My son and I have closed to 400 miles of experience canoeing ...

mine, (every other Friday) the General Kearny Inn, in Kearny is a must. Locals are friendly, be
nice.
were pushed into this very large tree at about 800cfs. Edit
