Jason, I saw the rope today on a quickie lunch run. Its in the II/III boogie about a 1/2 mile below mr bill. Its chocked on a rock jumble in the middle of the river and the rope can been seen floating with 15ft of it floating below the rock. Its not in a bad spot as the rock jumble would prevent you from boating there. There is a fun rock grind eddy on river right that I usually catch, and the rope is on the rock midstream just across from this eddy.

I hiked back up and tried to catch the swirly eddy behind the rock jumble to get the rope, but its moving too fast and is too turbulent to keep the boat there. Did manage to get a hand on the rope to see if I could reel it in as I floated downstream, but it was chocked in there and the current pulled me downstream and I lost it.

Probably need to wait til the water comes down to get it. Not in a bad spot at all where it is. Might be fun to try and do a swiftwater rescue hero move to go get it if you have the inclination and the assistance.
