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 ...
this was the most challenging and dangerous. NOT FOR THE INEXPERIENCED. tucsonbil@cox.net Edit
up until flood stage. Be sure to stop at the Nugget Bar in Winkelman, or if it is payday at the
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
