Texas Tribune | Disappearing Rio Grande Expedition
Jessica Lutz
Flash floods, near hypothermia, heavy rapids and alternatively a supreme peace accompanied me while traveling 200 miles of the Rio Grande along the Tex-Mex border with Reporter Colin McDonald as part of the Disappearing Rio Grande Project. I traveled with Colin for one month by canoe, shooting and uploading images daily on the Texas Tribune website. We used a solar recharge and satellite system to accomplish this project.
