Featured Presentation
- Topic: Kayaking the Lower Colorado
- Presenters: Lyrinda Snyderman, with Larry Moss and Nathan Moody
- Presentation Summary: One LoCo Trip! LoCo = Crazy = Lower Colorado River! High winds and high “tides”—within the canyons of the Mojave Desert! Who would have expected 55 mph winds? Or 6-foot “tides”? Lost boats; deep caves; towering pink, red, and black walls; turquoise and emerald waters; a “sauna cave” high over the river; rainbow-colored inside-out hot springs that created hanging gardens on narrow canyon walls; schools of large fish that refused to bite...all can be found between the spectacular 726-foot high Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and the Davis Dam on Lake Mohave.
To supplement Lyrinda's interesting and comprehensive talk about her travels, Nathan and Larry will talk about a similar trip, lured up and down the LoCo following Hank Ni's promise that wherever we were going, it was just around the corner...

Transportation & Parking: You can take BART to the 16th & Mission station; it's a short three-block walk to the Women's Building. If you must drive all the way, we have a special arrangement that allows us to park in the Mission High School lot on the west side of Delores Street between 17th and 18th Streets. The parking driveway is closer to 17th Street and takes you up a ramp to an elevated parking slab behind a chain link fence, as shown in this Google Street View. From there, it's a two-block walk. Put something that says "BASK" on your your dashboard. The lot will be locked at 10 pm, so make sure you're out well before then. Other parking in the Mission is limited. If you need to drive, carpooling and parking west of Mission St. is recommended. There are two parking garages in the area. For trip planning information, see the Women's Building contact page.
Note: This presentation will NOT be "broadcast" as a "virtual meeting". However, we are going to try to record it and make the recording available afterwards.
