Have you ever wondered what the Middle Rio Grande valley was like 500 years ago? How has it changed in the last 50 or 100 years? Can you identify the birds and wildlife as you paddle down the river? Who owns the water, where did it come from and where exactly does it go when it leaves Albuquerque?
Tish Morris, co-editor of the 699pg Bosque Education Guide will provide a brief glimpse into the vast history and ecosystems that make up the Middle Rio Grande. Topics include, the geology of the valley, surface and groundwater, the demands on the river's water budget, natural history information and human influence, to name a few.
If your birthday is in April (or any other month), come celebrate with us at our Monthly Albuquerque / Santa Fe Kayak meetup 'Pizza Party.'
Just wanted to thank you for an awesome class last night. I like your approach to teaching. People are drawn to that.

I have to say, Kelly covered EVERYTHING! I've taken this weekend class twice to absorb everything that goes into whitewater kayaking. Since my class, I've paddled on
class III whitewater and felt like I had a great sense of what [maneuvers, compound strokes or techniques] to do, when to do it, how to do it, and why to do it! What Kelly teaches would be pretty much impossible for a self-taught paddler to figure out alone. I feel safer, and more confident each time I'm on the river with a foundation of strokes and concepts to practice outside of class, and most importantly, I feel in control on the water.
