[Awclist] AWC February 11th has 2 programs: (1)Kayaking Kings River in Calif presented by Rick Deschler

[R/C Southwick]

January is over!  2014 is well underway with February 11th meeting having 2*
presenters!

 

1.     Rick Deschler - Kayaking the Kings River in California

Rick Deshler has a presentation on Kayaking on the Kings River in California

A trip record of his nephew, Oliver Deshlar's,  most excellent extreme run.
The Middle Fork of the Kings River in California is the king of expedition
kayaking

in the lower 48. Guarded by a grueling 12 mile hike over a 12,000 foot pass
the river plunges nearly 200 feet per mile for 40 miles, 

dropping 7000 feet off the spine of the Sierra's. A successful descent of
the Middle Kings requires crossing the Sierra's from east to west by foot
and 

then descending the river by boat. Envision that or better yet he has slides
to show!

 

2.     *Larry Hersman - the Rio Grande Gorge Trail Project Larry Hersman
unable to attend due to family emergency.

Please read attachments for a better understanding of his presentation -
bring your questions along.

Where his trail is proposed can be seen in Paul Bauer's River Guide of the
Rio Grande for visual presentation.

His could be relevant to the scoping plan for Rio Grande Del Norte National
Monument by BLM

2 attachments above - provided for your perusal prior to the meeting

hope that some of you will take the time to read before the meeting

so that his presentation and your questions can be addressed more
efficiently.

He is seeking endorsement from the Adobe Whitewater Club among other
organizations for this project.

 

A HUGE thanks to all of you who came and supported the Special Presentation
