Fresh Smoked Meats Now Available at Pilar Yacht Club. No doubt you already know of the Pilar Yacht Club, an establishment that has been serving the needs of Rio Grande boaters for decades. Located at the intersection of State Hwy 68 and Hwy 570, it is 100 yards from the Rio Grande Gorge Visitor Center and a quarter mile from the Quartzite put-in for the Racecourse run. Hwy 570 takes you to the Orilla Verde section of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. The PYC is run by the very hospitable Rico Salazar and his wife Eva Behrens, and here is Rico, with his new partner Jim and Jim’s mobile smoker, smoking away. Wow! I can hardly wait to sink my teeth into some of that smoked meat. We’ll see you there.
As of today (May 21, 2016), Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, and New Wave still has spots available for rafting on the weekend. We have an above average flow at Taos Junction bridge of 1390 cfs (cubic feet per second), which is a very fun level for the Taos Box run. If you have never run the Box, this is an appropriate level for your first time, because it is relatively easy, compared to when the water is higher. The weather forecast for the Memorial Day weekend is sunny, with temperatures in the 70s and 80s. That will be very nice weather for rafting!
We expect higher water in June, so stay tuned for further announcements. Hope to see you in one of our boats real soon.
Rico, Jim and the smoker
