[WardFive] Announcement about the break- ins

I am sharing with you what one of our neighbors sent me.

Please be aware of break-ins around South Dakota and Otis near the charter school.

Beware of individuals walking in the neighborhood early in the morning around 7:30-8:30 am. She was informed by one of the teachers it was a man and women.

The police are aware but we can be good neighbors and watch also.

Re: cheat_training_group Slalom, Cheat Training Registration, Mexico

Are the winter slalom classes the same as the slalom for river runners? Is Ashley the instructor?

Hello all,

Our summer classes are coming to an end. We have three more Tuesday night open practice sessions at Lock 6, including tonight. I hope you can join us!

Our Winter Slalom Sessions begin Sunday Oct 12th at 9 am. Stay strong and precise through the cold months. New this year we are offering a package of 10 sessions for $400. Registration is available online.

Feedback Wanted! We are devising a new way to register for the Cheat Training Programs to make it easier and more fair. You can send in a form specifying which program you wish to register for and include a check or other payment and we will draw names on January 2 until the programs fill. All others will be added to the wait list. Please let me know if you have suggestions or strong opinions about this.

Finally, it is time to make travel plans for Mexico this year! Tom will be down there again this year to help with logistics and we will have a combination of the incredible leadership of Mexican paddler Isidro Sobranes and our own staff to guide you on the river. The first two trips are the gorgeous waterfalls of San Luis Potosi led by Todd Henry. The advanced trip is class III & IV. It is filling fast! The intermediate is class III- this can be your first waterfall experience, you will need a solid roll. Check out the information and details about all trips below.

Cheers! Ashley

Alseseca Race video
Micos Cascadas

Waterfalls galore! Micos Cascadas has six waterfalls, one after the next, all 6 - 18' high, with many alternate lines. We can carry back up and paddle them again and again. Join us on our November Waterfall Trips - Advanced and Strong Intermediate.

Rio Verde

Beautiful and remote, the Verde drops over continuous basalt ledges for about 6 miles. We have to rappel beside a 100' falls. We spend the night with a friendly family and are served dinner in a family's kitchen. The next day we paddle the Santa Maria. A unique and exhilarating experience! - part of the Advanced Waterfall Trip

Rio Santo Domingo

Forty kilometers on a remote, class III-IV river in Oaxaca, camping along the way. Wake up to hear the sounds of rapids, jump on the river just as soon as you have eaten and packed your boat. A great experience living four days close to Nature then another day on the Rio Valle Nacional. Return to civilization by the Beatles' "Long and Winding road"
Rio Alseseca

Above is the drop where we start down the Alseseca River in the race. The river below here is class III-IV with many beautiful drops.
Rio Filo-Bobos

The Filo-Bobos, close to Tlapacoyan, is great fun to play and run the class III IV rapids. Further up-stream the river gets progressively more diffucult up to some great sections of class III and IV - on the Strong Intermediate Canyon Trip and the Advanced Veracruz trip.

Rio Barranca Grande
Happy paddling on the Rio Barranca Grande that winds through narrow and deep limestone canyons for 22 mi. near Coatepec, Ver. We spend two days paddling the Barranca Grande and a night camping alongside the river - Strong Intermediate Trip

Rio Filo-Bobos

Dear Tom,

The summer is already fading, and the warm days left can almost be counted. You may well be wondering how you will be able to keep up your kayaking addiction when the cold hits?

Here is a perfect answer: Liquid Adventures is offering kayaking trips to the beautiful and challenging rivers in Mexico. Click on "Mexico Trips" to the Left to see a list of all the trips we offer, and click on the photos below to see more photos of the same trip.

All the photos and videos below are genuinely from our own trips. The Winter escape to Mexico's rivers can make for a delightful break from the winter's chill. Check out these river great trips!

At home this winter you can prepare for trips, we will be offering rolling classes in an indoor pool, and slalom classes in the gates. You can maintain your paddling shape and keep improving your skills until Cheat Training starts up next year at the beginning of March.

November
Waterfall Trips
Strong Intermediate and Advanced:
North of Mexico City, in the Sierra Madre Oriental, there are a group rivers with blue, blue water, full of travertine waterfalls. Even if you have never gone over a waterfall you can learn it here. Some waterfalls are 3' - some 10'. You can work your way from the small ones up to the higher. You can skip any that are too high for you. There are many rapids in between.

Click on photo above to see photos of past Waterfall Trips.
Oaxaca Overnight Trip

South of Mexico City beyond Tehuacan you will see a great expanse of drylands and 10,000 ft. high mountains. The Rio Santo Domingo cuts through these mountains, carving several canyons and creating 25 miles of III - IV rapids. In three or four days we paddle this river, camping along the way and carrying all that we need in our boats. We call this self-supported boating. After the Santo Domingo, and a great dinner at the home of a local family, we drive to the Rio Valle Nacionale for another exhilarating day.

You fly to and from Mexico City

Alseseca Race Week

January 10 is the date of the seventh annual Alseseca Race. The race consists of about 20 steep drops all within about 2 mi.

Most of the week before we devote to learning the river and practicing for the race. Other excursions and hikes to local area sights are included, including a full day on the Super Alto Filo-Bobos.

We pick you up on the first day at the Mexico City airport and drive to Tlapacoyan, Veracruz. We drive back to the airport to catch your flight on the last day.

Click on the photo to the Left to go to the Alseseca Race Website from where you can find links to the videos for the last four races.

Advanced Trip in Veracruz

There are many options in Veracruz for paddling class IV - class IV+ whitewater, starting with the headwaters of the Filo-Bobos, and roadside section of the Alseseca, and the Upper Jalacingo. Join us for some real whitewater challenges near Tlapacoyan, Ver.
Melt Down Rapid on the Filo-Bobos

January/February
Intermediate Trips In Veracruz

Get your feet wet this Winter in Mexico! In these popular trips to Mexico, we explore three class III - III+ deep canyons of Veracruz. We spend one day on headwaters of the Alto Filo, another two days on the headwaters of the Barranca Grande. On another river called the Actopan, we put-in where the river is born gushing out of a rock wall into a big clearwater pool. On a warm day we often take a day for paddling in the surf on the Esmeralda Coast. The rapids are continuous, and on the Strong Intermediate trip, one night is spent camping along the river.

If you are comfortable paddling the Lower Yough, this will be a good trip for you.

Click on the photo above to see more photos from past Trips.

Accommodations in Veracruz

Our center of operations for trips on the Filo-Bobos and Alsesca Rivers is a beautiful ecological resort on the hill just over-looking the rivers. You stay in small cabins, usually two persons in a room, and eat in a nearby open air pavillion. For the Actopan we visit a second ecological preserve just at the headwaters of the river. In each case we have easy access to the rivers, where we can be back to our accommodations without a long drive.
The first day (out of six paddling days) we spend a little time outfitting our boats and warming up any possible rusty skills. River runs are ideal for practicing maneuvering and building confidence. We often devote some time in the resorts' swimming pool to refresh your rolling.

If you are interested in coming to Mexico, please give us a call and we can discuss the ideal trip for you.
