Gauge is lookin' like it will be about 6.5 or slightly below for Sunday. Anyone run it this low? Suggestions on a section that is good at that level?

You may be better off running the north fork from granny gap to the scottsville bridge at that level. :beer:

What a great little run! We bounced off of rocks in a few spots but most of the rapids had enough water for some clean lines. Weather couldn't have been more perfect. We ended taking out at the hwy 27 bridge near bayou bluff and walking back up the gravel road to the truck because Nathan's paddle broke....twice. He managed to limp that far with a nub of a paddle! Good fun though!
