We had a lot of rain in the past week and it brought all of the rivers up. Most were too high to boat comfortably, and there was a boater who wanted me to take him on a class III run, so we decided to run the Headworks. I hadn't run the Headworks since February, so it was a nice change of pace.
We put in with the flow at around 1500 cfs, but not long after we got on the flow was increased to 2200 cfs. We probably got a little bit of a kick from the extra release. The run was fun and there were no trees to bother us. The other guy had one minor swim that was made slightly worse when he dropped his paddle, but it floated right to us after a bit, so it was no problem. I regretted not packing the spare paddle - just because it's only the Headworks is no excuse.
We had a great tun through the last section with Ledge Drop 1 and the other class III rapids.
