Meeting - 

Presentation:  Pecos River Descent in Flood Stage  by Travis Burkhardt, Tim
Scofield, and Tom Fort. 

There should be some energy and enthusiasm here as they substituted sleep
for getting to the river while it was up! Includes pictures, GoPro head cam
footage, info re. put in, takeout, and hazards to be noted. They hope to
bring friends from the Pecos community they met during the run.  It doesn't
run often- see what it was like.
