Good info - thanks!  Definitely on the list of runs to scope in the future.
 
Also gained a new adjective - "calescent".  Had to look that one up.

Yes, 'Taco Bobs'.....at lower water if you aren't pointed straight for the slot on the right.....well, you get the picture. Mentioning water level, the Denny stretch has a pretty wide range....700 - 1,500 on the SF Snoq gage. There's also a stick gage downstream river left at Denny Cmpgrd, which should be between 3.2 - 4.1. High flows clean-up the tweener stuff, and make it fun, while the bigger drops are still reasonable. Jon mentioned putting in at the exit to the Franklin stretch....there's a good pull-out next to this, where you'll see the tight 20' that lands on/next to rock, and the "Plunger", which is the 10' start to the Denny Stretch is just downstream.

The stretch at Denny Cmpgrd is the best series on the run, and I've done laps on that in the past when I was looking for a quick hit. The drop under the bridge at Denny Cmpgrd has a wood logjam ledge that is boofable, just make sure to "stick it".

I just want to say I've been stoked since JayB revived this thread- I read it when it originally unfolded, and its just as good a read now! Gotta love a little Shertle wisdom (Frat-water),

And now Almquist drops "calecent" on us (I also had to reach for the Websters, though the context gave me a pretty good idea. I never turn down the opportunity to learn a new word).

Some colorful names tucked in there, fellas.
Class is in session, kids! These "oldschool" guys know how to name rapids and drops, not to mention running the sh*t.

I too am a big fan of "calescent." Clearly jalmquist has the lexical chops to match his paddling prowess.

Anyhow - can you use your magical moderator powers to create an entry for this run, or share some wisdom on how us regular users can add a river entry?

Bump.

C'mon Rio Banditos - let's add an entry for this run and get the info presented here someplace where fellow paddlers can actually use it.

Muchas Gracias...
