Down the Mekong: Voyage of Discovery

Superior - main floor Sat 9:30am-10:15am

In March 2023 Dave was joined by 3 intrepid paddlers to kayak down the Mekong River through Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam to the South China Sea. The friends experienced spectacular landscapes, rich history, ancient spirituality, a legacy of war and genocide, environmental challenges, friendly people, and the delicious food of Southeast Asia.

The Lofoten Islands are a surreal seascape of soaring, snow-speckled peaks rising steeply from deep fjords, white sand beaches, and aquamarine bays. Amidst this natural splendor are historic fishing villages, small cities, and picturesque farms - all bathed in 24-hour daylight during summer months and forever changing in the moody weather of the islands’ Arctic location. It’s a kayaker’s dream destination. Dan York will share images and stories from two kayaking expeditions he has led to these ... Read More
