Allen took our son out for his first ever "whitewater" trip down the Mad River. He hasn't really learned to embellish a story yet, but then he's only 7!

Trip Report of the Mad River by Josh Lundy (Age 7)
[typed by mom, who is ashamed her son is now officially a better kayaker than her]
Today, Dad took me to the White Water Warehouse and we rented a Jackson Fun 1. I met Eric Jackson once with my dad. Then we went to the Mad River and put in at the bridge. And then the first rapid I did not flip. That’s pretty much it. Then I went on some flat water. Then I got stuck in a bush and I screamed but then I pushed myself out and was fine. Then we got to Bernie’s Hole and mommy took pictures [only a few]. Then I went over Bernie’s Hole and flipped and got stuck in the hydraulic [seriously he said that] and I almost screamed my head off. Then my dad pulled me out. Then he pulled me to my boat and then I emptied my boat. Then I got back in my boat and went on down the river. There were some little waves and it was fun going over the waves. I was not scared this time. Then there was some more flat water and then there was a strainer but I went around it. Then there were some big rocks in the river in a rapid and I did some wicked moves around them [Allen said they really were wicked]. Then I accidentally did an eddy turn. That was the last rapid. Then we took out at the White Water Warehouse and went home. That’s it.
