Description
In the class II rapids below Submarine a double drop appears that is somewhat larger than anything since you left the gorge. The log that was partially blocking this drop has washed out as of 5/15/04. The PVC pipe that was sticking up has also washed out, but beware of future strainers since this spot seems to catch a lot of them. Avoid the left side due to a very undercut rock at the bottom and a small screw-up rock that will try to shove you into it.
