Beautiful Trip!
Many thanks to Mike Danko for leading the trip from Lowellville to Edinburg on the Mahoning. The day was gorgeous and we had a decent water level (3.26 on the Lowellville gage), good current and even a tailwind. We were all a little surprised that only six paddlers–Mike, Jess, Sue, Ron, Ed, and JP–in three canoes and three kayaks made the run, although Ray showed up at the put-in to say 'hi' before going to work. We covered the nine miles in about three hours and gathered at Melillo's afterwards to swap paddling lies, help the Lowellville economy, and get a jump on talking about next season's trip schedule. It was a great day to be on the river!
