Big Water, Big Fish by Jack Higgins, SVTU Chapter Board member When: Tuesday, September 22nd Time: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM Where: IWLA Clubhouse, 18301 Waring Station Road, Germantown MD. We are excited to have Jack Higgins, as our speaker. The adventure starts with Jack landing in Balmaceda Airport, a converted military airbase, then travel on a highway cut into the Patagonia to move troops to a conflicted area on the Chilean-Argentine border. From there we and descend into a vast territory that has been unscathed. The only scars seen on the landscape are those left by a volcanic eruption five years ago. Beautiful, breath taking, and Isolated Jack saw hikers and cyclists with fully loaded back packs, rafters to challenge the class VI rapids and of course Gauchos. He did not see caravans of fishing gear laden trucks that are hauling clients to the fast running Baker River. This five hour trek begs the question. Where are we going? The answer: to big water, big fish, and a continuing saga. http://www.senecavalleytu.org/Index.html Who's attending this event? There is no one currently attending this event.
