We paddled behind Pettyjohn Island for a scenic low water run. Went under the low bridge and later went through the rapids of Wreck Island along with the next major white water of Riverville Falls. Then the challenging Higgenbotham Falls, which flipped me upside down in the 2019 JRBF. This year the nose of my Seaeagle NN14 iSUP caught a rock and spun me around backwords to go over the falls and then got caught in a shallow section. Pulled the paddleboard free and carried on the Bent Creek, which is right on US 60.
