4/11/2015: Birch R., Birch River to CR-40 Br.

With: Mike Martin, Courtney Caldwell, Ron Knipling, Andy Reese, Joe Ault
 
We put on too far upstream and took off too far upstream.

We should have put on at Cora Brown Bridge (downstream of the town of Birch River), shuttled on river left via CR-1, CR-2, CR-4/4 and CR-40/10 to takeout at Diatter Run confluence. This would have cut out some flat water at the top and added some good whitewater at the end.

This is a first-class, beautiful, isolated run. It is a pity my camera battery died just as the whitewater started to get good.
