Keith Bowden of Laredo is currently on the Rio
Grande
in the midst of a journey that covers the length of the river in Texas
(at
least, most of it). Keith began his Rio Grande trip in mid-December by
biking
from the eastern edge of El Paso to Presidio via the backroads of Texas
and Mexico. At Presidio, he began a river paddle down to La Linda where
he has re-supplied for the next segment. His present itinerary includes
the Lower Canyons and Lake Amistad. From there, he begins the long run
through
south Texas to the Gulf. I will be posting Keith's subsequent reports
as
I receive them. 1. El Paso to Presidio-
