July 1, 6:30 – 8:30
Canoeing the Rio Grande Lower Canyons
Join Dan Kidd to hear about one of the best canoe trips ever through the deep desert canyons in one of the most remote areas between Texas and Mexico. Heat stroke, rapids, wrapped and abandoned canoes, no water, saving cattle in quick sand, dodging bullets and more! Tips on what not to do! Hear what happens first hand when you call rescue 911 and how to call for help with InReach! Save yourself!
Dan Kidd is one of the very early members of MOAC and has served as president more times than he can count. He has led a great number of trips throughout the world. Among his most favorite is the Rio Grande Lower Canyon canoe trip being featured this month! He has led canoe trips, besides a great number here in our own home state of Maine, in Montana, Utah, New York Adirondacks, Canada’s Labrador, Northwest Territory, Yukon, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Hudson Bay, the Amazon and some we can’t mention. At this point, his expertise lies primarily in what not to do, and in situations to avoid in group settings. If you are considering leading an expedition, this discussion might well serve as a bible, enough said.
Meeting begins at 7:00. Come at 6:30 or so to socialize, meet new people, and find out about MOAC.
