on May 5, 2019You found a great POV for capturing nearly the full span. Your map coordinates place you standing in the (South Yuba) river when you took this, and I guess I can believe it from the context of the shot. I suppose that late in the year, the flow in the river is much reduced from its maximum, so "in" the river might mean just on the exposed rocky river bed.
