Default Near drowning incident on the Potomac River (USA) - victim revived

I know that rapid on the Tygert, just did it 3 weeks ago for the first
time......fun river. I still have this thing for not liking to drive over 4
hours to boat......that river and the Meadow may have expanded my travel
prefs! Hope all is well in CA! :-)

Hi Mike -

It was on the Arden Section of the Tygart in the runout rapid below
Moat's Falls. I found out later it was a well known hazard to the
locals.

I talked with Barbara Brown at length today. She did the rescue
breathing on Dawn while someone else did the compressions. She said
Dawn was totally blue when they started and responded almost
immediately. How wonderful that this story had such a positive outcome.
