There are a lot more rocks where these came from

This part of the river has numerous rapids, which have lots of boulders that have been rounded by the sands of the river in the 10,000 years since the retreating glacier abandoned them. In high water, this is a wild ride.

I ran aground, so I decided this was a good place for a break

I could see the current running through the rocks, and I had to run a slalom course and try to stay in the channel. The Scupper Pro scraped bottom a lot, and kept on floating. I love this boat. The boat draws 2 inches, and 4 inches with me in it, so you can see how low the water is.
