I told @erikboomer and the fine folks @jackson.kayak that an exploratory kayaking mission to the Copper Canyons of Chihuahua Mexico would be the perfect proving grounds for the new boat #jkgnarvana . But secretly I had my doubts. Why? Page 12 in @rockycontos Mexico Del Norte guidebook is titled “Don’t be Disappointed.” One reason is weather; or, whether or not the rivers have water. The last decade in the region has featured the same mega-drought as it’s familial South Western United States. Suffice it to say that wasn’t the issue this year when Boomer and I landed on day 60 of 85 consecutive days of mega-monsoon. In this case we waited a day and made a change of plan. This headstream to our mile deep objective called El Durazno was a peach of low-hanging, class 3-First-D that took us to the lip of the main attraction: El Jefe de las Casacadas and the gateway to the monster Barranca downstream. 🎥 @erikboomer
