8 - 2/11/2012 - Middle Middle

We got less rain than expected, but warmer temperatures brought a little bit of snowmelt and the Middle Middle was running around 950. Putting in below First Island drop, we had a group of 5 IKs, surrounded by a couple of good-sized groups of hardshellers. We passed the group ahead of us, expecting that they would slow down to surf, but they ended up passing us back below Second Island Drop. All in all, it was a fun run.

I have now IKed the Middle Middle 142 times, which means that most likely I will hit 150 this spring. I may have to come up with some way to celebrate this.

Any issues with wood from the recent ice storm? Any changes on the run thus year worth noting?

I ran it again yesterday, and there's no wood and no changes to worry about. There's a bit of a mess on the takeout trail leftover from a Thanksgiving wind storm, but it's no trouble for small boats.
