                 Moab River Rendezvous

                2010 Event News

                The 2010 event included several features in addition to the presentation day and river trip: a riparian restoration service project followed by social for event registrants and presenters, an extra evening of presentations and a geology tour of Arches National Park.  The main presentations were moved to in-town locations for convenience - the Moab Arts and Recreation Center and the historic Star Hall.  The Friday river trip featured several replica boats in addition to traditional rafts.  All venues were very well-attended, from nearly twenty at the service project to more than sixty at each of the presentations.
