Upper Middle Cosumnes V-V+

The UMC is a great high quality low Sierras run that has water for a short amount of time due to its low elevation and relatively small watershed. We ran this in late May on its way out, but caught it at a good flow, around 300 cfs on the gauge at Mt. Akum.
The hike in. Unfortunately we got lost and had to tromp our way through poison oak forests and down this little tributary creek to the put-in. 
Martin running one of the first quality drops that the UMC has to offer.
Jim running a sweet boof-to-melt that leads into a longer rapid.
Martin boofin into Lars Holbeck. This drop has a nasty little rock at the bottom that has caused more than one ankle injury, so get that bow up.
