Mighty Mayo River Trip Report January 15th 2012
Twelve at the put in. Twelve at the take out. Russ Condrey taught me to always bring all my gear and to always bring everyone home. We did, but it was close to not being so.
Boaters:
Joe Fortin, Sammy Allred, Lucas Conkle, Danny Byrd, Robert Pajor, Pete Walther, Nate Krizmanich and David Zane Stacy were in kayaks.
On a beautiful sunny November afternoon, my mom asked, “Greta, do you want to run the Middle Haw this weekend?” I gulped, “Yeah, sure.” The Middle Haw? No sweat, right? I’ve done the Tuck, the Nanty and the Lower Pigeon. No problem. But you know what? A part of me screamed, “Pause!” You see, I had chickened out on a run on the Middle Haw earlier in the paddling season.

I have always rescued dogs. As a kid I was always trying to rescue the “camp dog” at any campground my family stayed at. I own two rescue dogs. But I get ahead of myself. . .
