A big thanks to Chuck Miller for leading a great trip on the Mahoning from B&O Station to Lowellville on a gorgeous summer day. It's hard to thank Chuck enough for what he has done to make paddling better on this stretch of the club's home river. Also thanks to Mike Danko for helping with the shuttle even though he couldn't paddle today. Finally I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to Jake Jones who saved me from losing a set of car keys and glasses that were in a small drybag that I left on the cobble bar where we ate lunch. After the trip, Jake led me through a maze of streets to a spot on river right exactly across from cement plant rapids where I could see the bag from shore. After a swim across the channel to retrieve the bag, I finally made it back to the takeout to retrieve my boat long after the last paddler had left for home.
