My girls were Brownies. From a leader perspective, I wanted to see something fun, and that would build confidence. This was one of our first real "outings" as a Girl Scout. I was looking for something "different", something with a sense of adventure/out of the ordinary (something they don't do everyday) but controlled and safe. I also wanted something a bit challenging - physically, but also something they hadn't done before, something that would build confidence. This really fit the bill perfectly. They didn't' want to get out of the pool!

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.

Thanks for the info and the good class.  Even though I've owned recreational kayaks for many years, I learned far more than I ever knew before.
