Playtime

Playtime is a long rapid with excellent eddy hopping to get you ready for the action downstream. The rapid is located at rive mile 171.2. The rapid consists of 3 distinct drops. As you approach a horizon line, go for an S-turn move on the far left around the two center holes, or go down the right. If you take the right line, be aware of a pretty nasty sieve over there. The water does not push into it, but paddlers have ended up there (in one recent case the paddler was upright, but it still took a few minutes for him to get himself out). The second drop can be run center or left, and there are several fun eddies and moves to try. The final ledge in playtime is a riverwide hole. Either run the easy tongue on the right, or boof next to the rock on the left. Either way, make sure to catch an eddy on the left, because Dammit is just downstream.
