Reading Sunday's Morning Journal, Came across a story about a whitewater park in Springfield Ohio. It's About a John loftis finding some unused dams and with the help of the Springfied Consorvancy District and The Army Corps of Engineers created six whitewater stations near Snyder Park and the Springfield Museum of Art that opened in May. Using Four dams on Buck and Beaver creeks. It cost about $750,000 dollars funded mostly by the Springfield Conservancy District. Mahoning River and all them Dams makes you wonder???

Let's see....We have an unofficial club photographer (JP TOLSON), and we have an unofficial Ambassador of Goodwill (Mike Danko), so maybe now we possibly have an unofficial Whitewater Guru (TOM DELO)? It just gets better and better!!

I might be crazy, but I would love to go down and see it and try it as well.
I know I need a better skirt and might need helmet, but It would be a blast
