Mid-Winter New York Update

While everyone is travelling around to warm climates and tropical destinations, I have been braving the winter up here in New York’s Adirondack moiuntains. We started off with a ton of snow in December and the early part of January. Last week’s warm temps and rain opened up some January paddling for those that were tough enough to handle the cold.

Back from Mexico Creeking Clinics

In December, we headed down to Mexico to teach creeking for two weeks at the Huasteca Secreta resorts in San Luis Potosi state. Here are a couple of pics from two of the rivers – the Ojo Frio and the Cascadas Micos. All of our students had a great time paddling the fleet of Pyranha boats that we brought down there – Burns, Everests, and Ammos.

To view the full report and all of the photos, go to RiverGypsies.com.
