Nuevo Mexico

Cruisin down I-40 through the bigness of Oklahoma and Texas. We ain't in Kansas no more. May 14th and 15th merge into one day as we make our 30 hr drive from the Carolinas to New Mexico. We witness gas prices rise, 4 o'clock thunderstorms, and water temps drop to .. What happen to the desert heat and dryness.








Day one and two begin on the Embudo. Class V+ for 5 miles in a 1000' Gorge. Big water, paddle your ass off, no techy Verde moves hear. Hands down this run met all of our expectations and ranks in our top 5 best days spent on the river. The run starts off with a nice .5 mile warmup allowing you time to soak in your surrondings. Upon entering the first gorge you come to Long Rapid, followed by another stretch of class three boogy, and the run terminates with a final gorge of V+ fun ( Cheese Grader, MJ Falls, and the Slots of Fun).

Embudo put in parking lot.
