Trip Review
What started out as a dark cloudy day turned into a great day. We had temps in the low 50's and at times some clear and sunny skies. USGS at Lowellville was 2.71 ft.
We had 20 paddler & 2 k9 (17 Kayaks & 2 Canoe's)
It was a little rough at the start due to low water but we got through it. After the wing dam rapid there is a island and channel left was open and good while the right was open but had a narrow section to get through.
Once we pasted that first part it was nice easy paddling. We all made it through radio rapid with no problems except a wet lap or two.
Mark Vallecorsa tandem kayaked with his nephew Mathew. At every rapid or ripple you could hear him laugh or see a smile from ear to ear. I asked what he thought of the paddle and his response was lets go again.
Great day with great friends on the Mahoning. Thank you to all who came and to Bob Danko for helping with the shuttle.
Mike
