About 14 river miles were covered on a nice day for paddling. Lunch was at Peterson Bridge. A goodly amount of trash was picked up, including a jello-shot trashed firepit. No intentional or unintentional swims were observed. Water level was high meaning most rocks were covered and there was little need to paddle downstream.
