Let’s call it a tail wagging waterfall. In a story by the Colorado Sun, a group of kayakers from Colorado had a dog wagging his tail after they rescued him below a 60-foot waterfall on Mexico’s Rio Alseseca.
The Sun’s Jason Blevins reports that Paul Palmer was at the lip of the 60-foot Tomata 1 waterfall on his first day kayaking in Veracruz, Mexico in December. His crew of expert kayakers was planning to paddle some less daunting, but still demanding, drops downstream when one of them spotted something moving in the pool below.
“We were at the lip and someone says ‘There’s a dog down there,’” said Palmer, a professional kayaker from Colorado Springs who won a national freestyle kayaking title in 2017. The black pup was perched on a mossy rock shelf on the side of a pool that spilled into Tomata 2, a narrow, rocky cascade that plummets 90 feet and is renowned by top paddlers as one of the gnarliest waterfalls on the planet.
