Branch River – September 29, 2018

Paul running Atlas Pallet Rapid

I was trying to decide where to paddle, and really didn't feel like driving, so I talked Paul into a local run on the Branch. Level was 4 feet / 500 cfs, which is as high as I have run it in a while. No bouncing off rocks, and I actually had to dump out the boat a couple of times. There were three strainers in the upper section – two we were able to paddle over due to the high water, one we had to portage.  Nice trip as always.
