Flow below Lake Bartlett was 1070 CFS making for an excellent float. The agreed upon meeting spot was the intersection of
E Rio Verde Dr and N Forest Rd. The
gear transfer and out-vehicle drop off did not take long. The 40 shuttle miles takes a little over an hour each way which is an effort for 8-9 river miles. Although touchy, the low-clearance van made it to the
launch site. Would not be able to say the same for the take-out. While
rigging, entertainment was provided by these
folk and their rescue
vehicle. The
view upriver from the campground put-in.
