Back in that day when you took the river you could stay in the Mexican town in Boquillias Canyon.
There was a bar with a propane cooler and no other power.
After a day on the water drinking hot Vodca drinks it was the best beer ever.
This occurred just after the movie Young Guns was released so we asked our new friend Juan de Informant (with a huge misshaped arm at the elbow) if he could find us some Peyote.
The rest is sketchy. We still had a couple of days to go on the river before The Rockslide, a class 5 obstacle at the end ......

Sounds like the donkeys and peyote is key.

There was a town across from Rio Grande Village that Julie and I paid a guy to row us across in a Jon boat then we rode donkeys to town.
Again. No electricity. Cold beer. We stayed in a house overnight. Was crazy.
This was 2000.....

That is the best plan!
I am not sure what is more awesome, doing that trip or still having the pictures almost 30 years later.
I just got my work schedule and I am out. Would be a cool trip.
