Note that the river description refers to the Nemo to Camp Austin short run, and the shuttle is
described in the Waldenridge link. However, the AW map shows the full run ending at Oakdale, 9+
miles long. -G. DeBacher

Ran from Nemo to Oakdale on 4-23-08. Discharge was 720 and dropping at Oakdale. This was enough
water to run without getting stuck. Nemo Rapid I snuck on the right. There were several class 2s
requiring careful maneuvering. Still, newbies should be OK at this level, and the pools between
rapids make for easy gear recovery. The run would be a little easier with more water.
