2016 Season Begins with a Bang! New Wave began its 2016 season on Saturday, March 12, with a Taos Box trip and a Racecourse trip. For the Box, the weather was nice to begin, but then the wind started to blow! The party saw an otter and lots of bighorn sheep. Britt Runyon guided the Taos Box trip, with 4 guests from New York (see photo below) . Britt got an assist from Mike Boren, who rowed a support boat. We never send a single, unaccompanied, boat down the Box. Here’s the Box crew.
On the Racecourse
Here’s the Esquivel family, from San Antonio, Texas, after their morning Racecourse trip, with guides Hendrix Johnston and Joey Coburn, who rowed a support boat. They wrote: “Steve, we had a great time today. Hendrix and Joey were great guides and made the trip very enjoyable and memorable.”
Here is the Gonzalez family from Houston. Britt guided them down the Racecourse on Sunday afternoon.
Another herald of spring is the blooming of the forsythia. Here’s our one forsythia bush.
And, how about the water?? Yep, with all the early warm weather, the run-off has started, with a nice volume of water in the river. The flow is 946 cfs at the Embudo gauge, which means some good waves and splashing. We expect the peak to occur in late May or early June, with 2 to 3 times as much water as is in the river right now. The season is young! Come on out and get on the river. You can hardly have more fun. Say that you saw this post to get a 10% discount!
