Description

See also Upper White's Creek. Just before you get to Butcher Block (so within the first half mile of the run) there is a hazardous pin rock in the right line of an otherwise non-descript smaller rapid. Level was around 1.1 feet on the take-out gauge. It probably doesn't take a lot more water than that to put it completely underwater. We got a boat badly pinned there, requiring a 3:1 z-drag to remove. Stay left of center to avoid. (Note: there is an emergency walkout road to the put-in just below this rock on river left. We didn't have to use it, but you can see where it is.) River Description: Clay Wright 2004-02-06 22:33:58 3.5 to 4.5' great play on the lower. After a few good waves you get to the first river-wide hole. Eddy both sides - it's excellent for all tricks- even loops. There is one hole on a right bend shortly below the surf spot which feeds into a left eddy backed by a rock and wall, and it comes up fast. Left to right cut required, or out the back of the eddy. The 'undercut right wall' is easy to go left of if you see it coming in advance - stay left each time you see big cliff on river right and you'll breeze it. Several flooded islands make it hard to find the river-bad. We often found clean channels far right. Best front-surfing just below confluence with a big creek on left. You'll want to walk back up again and again - a camp on the right makes it possible (kinda long). Couple more tree-lined mazes (one far right, and go L at the RR bridge) and you're done. < br /> Clay Wright Emory at Obed went from 14g to 53g; Daddy's up to 8g,
