“100 Days on the Mighty Colorado River: A 2,400 Mile Solo Kayak Odyssey”

On Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2016 the San Gorgonio Chapter of the Sierra Club will have their monthly meeting at the San Bernardino County Museum, 2024 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands at 7:30 p.m. Join us as Bryan Brown, eco adventurer and traveler, presents his program titled: “100 Days on the Mighty Colorado River: A 2,400 Mile Solo Kayak Odyssey”. Please join us as we relive Bryan’s story about successfully completing the first ever solo unsupported descent of the entire 2,400 mile Colorado River watershed, September to November 2013, as a tribute to his brother. The historic Green River/Colorado River watershed features some of the most fabled and remote whitewater passages on earth: Dinosaur National Monument, Desolation Canyon, Cataract Canyon, Grand Canyon and Westwater Canyon. This journey was the first of three source-to-mouth kayak expeditions (Colorado, Yukon and Canada’s MacKenzie Rivers) executed to highlight how the management of the Colorado River Watershed serves as a benchmark for the other large watersheds in North America. All of these regions are embattled in one way or another. Mr. Brown’s presentation ultimately focuses specifically on strategic water use issues. By vocation, Bryan Brown is a Wall Street market strategist. By avocation, he is an eco/adventure traveler. He and wife Sandy have traveled on six of the seven continents, share a passion for scuba diving and have logged dives in Indonesia, Malaysia, Fiji, Galapagos just to name a few. All are welcome to attend the meeting. Parking and admission are free but donations are accepted for room rental. The San Bernardino County Museum is located: 2024 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands, CA 92374. Exit California Street from I-10 Freeway in Redlands.
